At Cambrian Harps and Harp School, we may be a little biased but our Director of Music, Helen Naylor puts our case across for learning to play the fabulous instrument the harp. Here are five reasons why your child should Learn to Play the Harp.
Helen says - IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN AND.....
1. Learning harp teaches patience and self-discipline
Learning to play the harp often involves intricate pieces with challenging passages. Developing the skills to play these well requires setting a regular practice schedule. This schedule might involve daily practice, focusing on specific techniques or pieces. Sticking to this schedule instils discipline, teaching you to prioritise practice and commit to consistent effort over time. Great skills to apply to all area of life.
2. Learning harp Instills responsibility
Overall, learning the harp is a journey that fosters patience with yourself and the learning process, while simultaneously demanding responsibility, self-discipline and a commitment to consistent practice.
3. Learning the harp promotes dexterity and coordination
The harp requires independent movement of both hands. One hand plays the melody on the higher strings, while the other plays the accompaniment on the lower strings. This trains your brain to control each hand separately, improving overall dexterity.
4. Learning the harp boosts confidence
The harp is a challenging but absolutely achievable instrument to learn. As you master basic techniques, progress through pieces, and overcome hurdles, you'll experience a sense of accomplishment. This builds confidence in your ability to learn and conquer difficult tasks. Playing in front of others ensures your child develops the ability to succeed in many public situations.
5. Learning harp improves academic performance
There are strong connections between music education and cognitive skills that can benefit academic performance. Memory and focus, problem-solving and critical thinking, multitasking and time management and many other areas are enhanced.
