SYMPOSIUM FOR HARP TEACHERS, BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND
"Irish Harp, by note, rote and reason" Methods of teaching explored and explained
Sunday March 1st, 2020
at University of Ulster, Belfast Campus
This is a first event focusing on the teaching of the Irish harp. 'By note' is the classical training system where learning is literacy based; 'By Rote' is the more usual 'learning by ear' system which is about imitating the teacher in a fixed format; and learning 'By Reason' is based on the ideal of 'Music as a Language' taught organically and intuitively as a creative improvised art. Organised in association with Ulster University and sponsored by Harp Ireland.
