InstructionsUse the hand-out to follow along and play along with the webinar. NOTICE the 2nd copy of each tune - this is where I show you how you can simplify the piece - and take notes OUT to let more of YOUR creative expression IN.

Welcome to “The Artistry of Giving” where you’ll learn musical concepts that can help you add more of YOURSELF to both your playing and your life experience. In the webinar I’ll also tell you how you can take this much, much further in Hip Harp Academy.

This handout gives you the basics you’ll need to put today’s training into actionIn my 10-Week “Strings of Passion” program you’ll learn to use the 7 Strings of Passion to enrich all your creative expression. “Strings of Passion” is the FIRST program of 2018 in my yearlong Hip Harp Academy curriculum, where you’ll learn to build whole repertoires of creative arrangements -- all starting from concepts as simple as what you’re learning today.

The principles I use in this webinar are the same ones I use in all my playing, concepts that have helped me have an international career - and even win a Grammy Nomination! Now I want to share them with YOU.

Greetings Passionate Harp Player!I’m Deborah Henson-Conant, also known as “DHC.” I’m a composer, performer and a coach to creative artists - especially those who play the HARP!

I love to help impassioned harp players express themSELVES with their isntruments by teaching them the fundamentals of how music ‘works’ and how to improvise, arrange and combine their harp playing with other things they love - from singing and storytelling to cooking or writing.

I hope you enjoy this free training. I look forward to seeing you in full yearlong Hip Harp Academy!

1.ImpulseThe desire to touch, to be, to do, to create, to discover

2. StructureThe string in the sugar-water - The power of internal structure ~ Creating Conducive Conditions

3.CharacterIt’s the flavor, the scent, the expression - the ineffable that gives meaning to the concrete

4. RolesLeadership & Followship are just two roles ~ In music, playing the roles of bass, accompaniment or melody allows us to freely improvise together ~ As we fully play each different role, different perspectives are revealed ~ A role, like an archetype, can connect you to knowing what you do not know you know

5. PracticeYou have to be bad to be good ~ Knowing made physical - Physicalize to know ~ Don’t try to get it - let it get to you

6. DeconstructionStructure, deconstructed, becomes a framework for new creation ~ Each translation to a new medium, each distillation, each incisive question shows more truth

7. Lift-Off In the moment of performance, we drop the conscious practice, and trust that part of our practice that has become us. We speak fluently in a language where perfection is irrelevant because all we are doing - in our vulnerability - is revealing one answer to the question of what it means to be human. That’s all we truly want to know from each other.
