Welcome to HARP at HOME online harp workshops
I began HARP at HOME in April 2020 following as a result of the covid 19 crisis. I found I suddenly had a near empty diary as many of my teaching and performing trips were cancelled. I really wanted a way of still connecting with the harp community around the world and well I really enjoyed having the goal every week of creating new online content.
I’ve been so pleased with how both series 1 & 2 of HARP at HOME have been received. I’ve had well over a thousand downloads of the music from harpists throughout the world. Series 3 (8 weeks) will begin on Monday the 18th January 2021, and like before, will “go live” at 7pm. If you don’t catch it at live at 7pm, don’t worry, you’ll be able to watch it in your time, as the workshops will remain online for the foreseeable future.
As well as learning a tune, the HARP at HOME series gives extra insight in the tradition and culture surrounding Scottish music with:
- Guest interviews
- Guest performances
- Technique, performance and practice tips
- Background info on the tunes and traditions
I hope you enjoy learning the tunes and I look forward to connecting with you!

“The workshops are fabulous! Rachel is an amazing teacher. She’s very patient and conscientious”
