HIP HARP ACADEMY | ON-DEMAND CLASSES

HIP HARP HOLIDAY KIT

Ready to go from “Please don’t ask me to play!” to confidently playing tunes people love – without memorizing dozens of songs or spending weeks in stressful practice? 

You’ll learn the art of “faking” (improvisation) using simple ‘lead sheets’ where each song fits on one page – all in “C” tuning – so you can focus on the JOY of music-making instead of trying to find the right notes.

The system works at ANY level – advanced players discover new creative freedom, fledglings build confidence in ‘simple is beautiful,’ each tapping into YOUR creative gift. And once you learn this skill, you can use it for any style of music.

VIDEO HOLIDAY CARDS

This is a multi-module class that breaks down the creative and the technical aspects of making a Video Greeting Card – including how to set up your camera or phone, how to use lighting, what simple programs you can use to edit your video if needed, how to prepare yourself and how to just let go and do it.

And guess what? You can use this EXACT same training all through the year for birthdays, thank you’s, all holidays from Christmas and Hanukkah to Valentine’s Day … and any time you want to send a special greeting or a musical hug to someone you love.

$139

HARP JAM

This class is a 6-module creative improv program where you learn “short-form” jams & vamps – short harmonic progressions that inspire improvisation without having to prepare or learn an extended ‘improv form’. Each class includes play-along video & audio to strengthen your improvisation and rhythm skills while you’re playing.

$597

HANDS-ON HARMONY

This course gives you a theory and harmony foundation specifically for HARP – with hands-on exercises that get the harmony directly into your fingers.

Once or twice a year I run a virtual retreat where we go through it all together, and you can ask questions when I’m there live to answer them.

$297

SING & PLAY HARP

This class focuses on learning to play a 3-Chord Pattern using “smooth movement,” so you learn to literally play them with your eyes closed.

This allows you to focus on singing while you play. You learn to shift the pattern to different keys so you can sing in a range that suits your voice, and to play the sequence in inversions.

$139

BLUEPRINTS FOR CREATIVITY

This is a powerful collection of seven immersion trainings from Deborah Henson-Conant to help you build repertoire quickly while increasing your creativity.

Each Blueprint is like a recipe – it gives you the formula and the training to create music using a simple compositional form – and you get seven different forms.

BAROQUE FLAMENCO: BEYOND THE PAGE

In the course, I show you my own secrets of how to play this fiery harp showpiece at your skill level on your harp, whether it’s a lever harp or a pedal harp, 47 strings or 21 strings. You’ll learn to EXPAND it if you’re an advanced player and SIMPLIFY it if you’re still a fledgling player.

You’ll learn to make the dramatic Flamenco cadenza SIZZLE, and how to end the piece with so much inner fire that you COMPEL your audience to jump up and shout!

NEW BLUES: BEYOND THE PAGE

In this class, I show you how to play my popular piece “New Blues” by taking it beyond the page to show you how each section of the piece actually works, how you can simplify it, and how you can create your own versions of each of the variations. This class is for intermediate to advanced players to learn section by section AND with suggestions for advanced players to accelerate and embellish.

2+ Hours of immersion training, divided into 14 bite-sized classes. The entire class was filmed LIVE so you get to hear the live attendees’ takeaways and questions as well as the classroom training. Take the class in whatever way works for you: For some harpists, it might be a half-day immersion class, for others it might be a 3-week, once-a-day training.

ONE SONG: THE NIGHTINGALE

This program breaks down “The Nightingale” so that you can easily memorize it, simplify it, and see where you can add your own improvisation.

You learn to deconstruct this piece so you can create an arrangement of it using your own unique skills and current technical abilities so that you can play it fluently and musically at your current technical level without needing to spend hours practicing it.
