Come and have a go at playing the harp or bring your new harp along if you've just started. In this light-hearted and fun 90 minute workshop we'll cover finger technique, semi-tone levers and tuning, and by the end of it we'll all play a simple Scottish piece together. Coffee, tea and cake will be provided in the breaks.
Bring your own harp or book one to borrow, spare harps are extremely limited so book soon to avoid disappointment!
