Hello ! I hope you are fine, you are well on the youtube channel "Let's play lever harp", let's go!
Method and book ideas part 2
See the part 1 - link into info bar...
You are listening "Ar Baradoz", you can buy tune and video course on the platform
The composer who currently has much success in music schools in france,
And whose music allows students to prepare auditions and competitions
It's "Monsieur" Bernard Andres, Which composed many pieces and collections
And from my point of view of Celtic harpist, I find that this gentleman understood the spirit of the harp,
But what interested me in his work of composition for the study of the harp is
Through very nice pieces, is to learn an applied technique
tuera re so many collection and tunes !
One of the favorite tunes is "Aquatintes"
you can listening differents examples on youtube channel
If you are looking for pieces in a certain classical spirit
but not too much,
"Aquatintes" and other pieces composed by Mr Andres are for you!
If you are looking for pieces designed for pedagogy, it is the best
go to Mr Andres Collection !
It is a Celtic harpist who advises you!
When you learn an instrument, I think it's important,
To know its history,
Of course, there are different periods, ancient history, egyptian, medieval ..
or 17 th century or 18th century, or in ireland..
Contemporary history - in france - with Alan Stivell, Cécile Corbel,
also Loreena McKennitt....
I think it is important, in France, to understand, how the Celtic harp evolves
We are in a period where there is a lot of boy who play the celtic harp
there is a lot of boy that play Lever harp !
and it's good !
And also the son of ... son of harp maker, son of musicians, a new generation who come
And if you are interested in the Celtic harp, it is important to understand and know its evolution
I do not know if I have already spoken about this subject before,
There is a lot of book about the history of the Celtic harp, as well as about Alan Stivell
But other books on the Celtic harp and with a pedagogical point of view, in France, that did not exist ...
Now there is only one.
this one - sorry ! only in french -
this book was written by Mariannig Larc'hantec
It 's name "the harp, instrument of the Celts"
But this is not the right title of this book
The good title is "logbook of a Celtic harp teacher"
This book was published 2/3 years ago ... I think
4 years old ! 2013..
In fact, we often see the harp from the point of view of
Alan Stivell...
With the story of the harp through the youth of Alan Stivell
To speak of his Brittany, Its origins and its commitments
In this book Mariannig takes another point of view, I show you some pictures ...
Mariannig has known the appearance of the Celtic harp in France at the same time as Alan Stivell ....
The author will explain in this book, how it was difficult to create the job of professor of Celtic harp in music schools, france
Because it was the author of this book who had the idea, who invented this work in an official way
And especially who fought for the creation of this trade.
Reason why before, before 1990, it was necessary to go through courses,
in the conservatory, but with professors who was not trained to the traditional music
It is still true today, some teachers consider the lever harp as just a learning harp and not a full instrument
I am sorry, I am the black sheep, the person who fights against the falses ideas
And I said, shit !
Stop to say that the lever harp is to learn the pedal harp !!!
There are many artists who only play on the harp with levers,
I have enough of always given examples!
Not to mention the people who are in their corner and of whom we never speak!
It is an instrument in its own right, it has qualities and defects
Like the pedal harp, no instrument is perfect!
What is interesting in this book is that there are many anecdotes,
As for example, how one tuned his harp before,
because today one has to machines but before that it was not the case ...
Or how the harpists found their harp strings, today we have stores or websites but before like it was not like that!
And therefore through all these little stories, you will learn a lot ...
And if you are serious, I look you in the eye, and you are interested in the Celtic harp,
You must read this book
Because you will learn a lot,
And also because it is also the point of view of a woman,
because until now, we had more the point of view of man ...like Alan Stivell
I think this book has an important place to understand the Celtic harp in France ...
Then the last book I want to introduce you, you will see it is quite amazing ..
It is not a collection for the celtic harp
name's book is " 100 irish ballads"
The purpose of this book is
When you are going to achieve a certain level of play,
it is to try to create your own arrangements for the celtic harp
and create your own artistic world
When I teach the harp, evidently, I teach pieces.
More or less known
More or less with arrangements
But I try to teach a state of mind
You want to learn such a piece, it is well ...
Most of the time, my sudentst want to learn known pieces
Like pieces of video game, film
See a piece that another harpist played
Either a creation or the resumption of a traditional theme
When you want to become a professional musician
It will be necessary to learn to create its own world ...
play cover, it's a good experience,
But also to compose, to play traditional pieces with your own vision, or know tune
And work to make sure to recognize the piece but with your own style!
it can be very hard !
With this little book that costs cheap! Only 7,95 €
Which is interesting
You have the melody
for example... the foggy dew
a very know traditional tune !
i made my own version you can see link in information space
on the website " let's play lever Harp"
there is the melody
but without left hand for harp !
ok ! do not panic !
But what you find in this book ...
Above the melody, you find guitar chords!
for example A minor, G, C, A minor, C, G....
it an help for the guitar player,
But also for you case you will have the basis of arrangements to develop for the harp
with this base, you can create your own left hand arrangements..
I think, too, to create a new workshop with this theme...
his training will be around a melody and I would show you, step by step, how to make various arrangements
Obviously, there are the basics, which I explained to you in a previous video
Third, fifth, octave and arpeggios
But I would suggest you go beyond these basics ..
it is very cheap and you can find a lot of different melody !
with basic guitars chords
And afterwards, get by!
i think...
and you can find so many differents books like that !
be careful, do not buy twin whistle book because you do not find guitars chords, most of the time
in this book, you find song, music and guitar chords...
this a little trick if one day, you want to make your own arrangements...
and it's same trick to play modern music, pop, rock...
Just find the melody with a guitar grid and you can your own arrangement !
the melody is same ! you must pluck the right hand
and you create your left hand ! et voila !
a very good advice to make your own recipe !
We arrive at the end of this video!
It was not easy to film today!
I hope this video has been useful to you, it's my goal...
