This arrangement of Butterfly Jig is fun, upbeat and sounds REALLY impressive on the harp! It’s a great performance piece to show off your technical skills and speed. This level is the most complex out of the two with a faster speed, impressive intros at the beginning, and more complexity between the hands. If you learn along with the video course, Carrie will break the sections down so they feel really doable and fun. She’ll share critical tips on how to build speed and fluidity in your playing all while staying relaxed and controlled. This is a great piece to build confidence in your playing – and it’s super addictive to play!

Difficulty Level and Skills Required
Advanced: (Click here for the Mid-Intermediate version). The right hand plays the melody with quick, repetitive fingerwork, grace notes, and a long series of overlapping brackets. The left hand consists of 4-2-1 patterns, 5th intervals, and octaves. This piece is fast with quite a bit of jumping between registers, quick dynamic changes, and tricky placing.

Thank you Carrie for breaking it down and giving good fingering suggestions.
This piece is easier to learn than it sounds when you first hear Carrie play it. As always the breakdown into manageable sections makes learning possible and Carrie has good tips for making it work.
