Learn the harp online from anywhere in the world!

Virtual Harp Social is the online version of the popular in person Little Harp Social programme founded by international harpist Keziah Thomas.

The level 1 online course consists of 12 weekly classes and you will be sent a 20 string lap harp to use during the course.

At the end of the course you will have had fun learning fundamental harp technique and you will have a repertoire of 12 pieces which you can play along to specially arranged backing tracks to your friends and family!

You don’t need to have any prior musical knowledge to take part and for those students who have never learnt to read music before, there is an optional add-on practical theory class each week.

If you love the course, you can then carry on to Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and beyond!
