This video is the introduction to the Music Development teaching series as it is taught in the International Harp Therapy Program. It provides information on the modes and chords that are used for each of the modes.
You will begin to learn how to play music without reading the written note. Right hand and left hand patterns provide the basis for entwining sounds for a creative passionate sound. The player can play along with the video which provides form in rhythm and structure.
For further development of these lessons, each mode will be thoroughly introduced in subsequent lessons. With the first video, you receive a binder of music notes to accompany the Intro video and can be used to add music from the continuing videos.
(note: this video is on backorder and will be available on July 1, 2007 - Please order video #2 and we will send the binder as well.)
