With so much discussion in How To Harp around different ways to practice I am structuring my practice together sessions a bit differently - as an Interleaved Practice Game

(Those who just wish to join and practice another way are more than welcome to simply practice as normal)

Here is how our practice session will look:
10 minutes: Sharing our intentions and getting organised
40 minutes: Muted Practice for the Interleaved Practice Game of five 8 minute sessions ( see below)
10 minutes: Reflection and sharing

ABOUT THE GAME: You will need to plan your practice for our game before you start. Write the numbers 1 to 5 down ( perhaps in a practice journal). Now assign a practice task that you will focus on for 8 minutes to each task. You can repeat some of the same tasks. Make sure you have all you need to practice these switch between tasks easily. At the start of the session I will tell you what order the numbers are going to be practiced in. We then practice for 40minutes and switch task every 8 minutes. ( you will need to use your own timer).

Join Mary for a practice session followed by a debrief and time to connect with each other on our harp progress.

Only for Peas & Harmony Pod members only

Join me and your pod friends for a practice session.  We will take 5 minutes to organise what we each want to work on in the practice session, then each mute ourselves and practice for 20 minutes, and then come back to spend 5 minutes or so sharing any thoughts.  The practice together Club is a no-pressure opportunity to meet up with other harpists, just to help us make time to practice.

Improvisation and Rhythmic Entrainment for Harp Therapy and Holistic Performances
Join us for an inspiring online workshop exploring harp therapy, a rapidly growing field that transforms the way we use the harp—focusing on creativity, improvisation, sound healing, holistic music therapy, and emotional resonance.
In this session, we will:

Discover modal improvisation – Learn how to shift moods, energies, and emotions using simple modal scales in a very simple and creative way.
Explore rhythmic entrainment – Understand how biorhythms and the nervous system respond to rhythm, through rhythmic improvisation techniques.

This workshop is perfect for all harpists, regardless of improvisation experience. Whether you want to create intros and outros for your pieces, accompany yoga and meditation sessions, or enhance relaxation moments, you'll gain valuable tools to enrich your playing.
Open to all levels—no prior improvisation skills required!
