If you’re a fan of “The Hobbit” you’ll love this rendition of “Misty Mountains Cold” on the harp! The simplified melody and accompaniment make it a great piece if you want to solidify some basic harp skills while playing a really neat piece. What’s unique about this arrangement is that the big harp version plays this in the lowest register of the harp. So although the piece is simple, it’s filled with drama and really captures the character of the original song! If you learn this along with the video course, Carrie will share all the tips and tricks for playing cleanly and avoid buzzing in the lower register.

In this song, you learn crossovers and overlapping brackets and (if you have been doing it in order,) your first chord! I do suggest learning Swan Lake first. If you have a big harp, this is also your opportunity to make use of those lowest notes on your harp. Carrie is a great teacher and reminds you about good posture at the beginning of the lesson. Thorin would be pleased with this song (for he himself played it on his own harp.)
