“Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)” is a Don McLean classic that is so relaxing to play on the harp! Skills learned in this piece include right-hand scales and cross-unders, as well as accurate placing of longer overlapping brackets in the left hand. There are no lever changes! Based on one of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings, listen for how the patterns and melodies in this piece actually depict the wistful, calming nature of his work.

Best part of these video clip classes are the technique clips…. good to review…. I also find myself going back to the videos when I hit a snag, to watch Carrie play it again and see where I need to adjust.

Thank you, Carrie, you taught this beautiful piece clearly & precisely. I love your comments about musicality and technique & that music is to bring joy. I am a professional flautist (and teacher) and these comments really rang true.

This was my first course with Learning the Harp since joining in January. The videos were easy to follow and broke the music down into sections that allowed me to learn technique and put everything together at my own pace. I am so pleased that I completed the course in just over 4 weeks! I highly recommend this course and can’t wait to begin my next one!

Such a beautiful piece, a lovely arrangement on both levels. I like the late beginner to start and grow into the other. Thank You Carrie.
