Description

Here is a great opportunity to pull out your harp and get warmed up for the Winfield jams. Join Les Gustafson-Zook, two time Winfield champion and popular autoharp instructor and performer for an excellent chance to improve and expand your autoharp skills.

Using well known folk and fiddle tunes, we’ll review basic accompaniment strum options for singers and backup players. Using that base we’ll move to melody picking with a focus on finding melodies in simple tune arrangements. Finally, we’ll cover techniques for increasing clarity and complexity to improve your ability to keep up with tunes in a jam. Before you know it, you’ll be taking the lead in your favorite jam session!

Bring your tuned chromatic harp and join the group to take your abilities to the next level. All levels of players will discover tools and tricks to expand your skills in the context of a supportive and encouraging group. Join us for a fun and rewarding adventure!
