Show Notes
Heather explores why technique is about far more than scales and exercises, and how strong technical foundations can give you greater freedom, confidence and expression at the harp.
She shares four reasons technique gives you freedom in your playing, from removing panic and building confidence to expanding your musical choices and helping you focus on expression rather than mechanics.
In this episode: • Why good technique removes panic and helps you feel more secure at the harp • How stronger technique gives you more musical choices and flexibility • Why technical work builds confidence and independence in your playing • How technique allows you to focus on musical expression instead of mechanics • Why technique and musicality are not opposites, but partners
This is a practical and encouraging solo episode about building confidence, creating musical freedom and understanding how technique helps bring your music to life.
