Ep 62: You Don't Need New Seasonal Music Every Year

Episode 62

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 29:32

Christmas Collab 2026 Info HERE - https://www.howtoharp.com/courses/christmas-harp-collaboration-2026

-----

Special occasions have fixed dates, so a piece that isn't ready in time has to wait for them to come round again. Heather sits down with How To Harp tutor Angela to look at how to be prepared without starting from scratch.

Heather talks about arranging Carol of the Bells after always avoiding it, and Angela explains why Silent Night is the first thing she plays on every new harp.

In this episode:

- Building a bank of seasonal tunes gradually, even if you only start in January

- Writing a list in the back of your journal, and refreshing old favourites with a different arranger's version

- Choosing music that does double duty, like Greensleeves and What Child Is This

- Balancing difficulty, with one stretch, two at your level and one easier

- Teaming up with a harp buddy for friendly accountability

- Keeping up technique and the rest of your practice, so you don't hit a slump when the festivities end

- The free How To Harp Christmas Collab, with parts from complete beginner to advanced

Host:

Heather Downie - Harpist, Principal Lever Harp Tutor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Founder of How To Harp

Guest:

Angela Boraston - Harp Tutor at How To Harp
