Josh Layne Harp Workshop St George’s Anglican Church Battery Point Tasmania March 28th 2026

TONE and PLAY ANYTHING

Suitable for all styles of harp from beginner to advanced levels.

PLEASE BRING YOUR HARP (LEVER OR PEDAL) IF YOU WISH PLAY DURING THE WORKSHOP

THERE ARE LIMITED TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT SO BOOK EARLY

We'll kick off the workshop with this thirty minute session on tone. The harp is a beautiful sounding instrument - how can we make it sound even better? Hands on help, demonstration, and exercises to achieve a deep, rich, singing sound on the harp.

Followed by "Play Anything" - a chance to get some one-on-one help from Josh on anything you want! From polishing a piece, to working on technique, to figuring out how to tackle something that's been challenging - bring whatever you'd most like help or feedback on.

Active participants will get each get a ten minute session with Josh in front of the group - and sometimes you learn just as much from other people's questions and feedback as you do from your own!

You can also sign up to just observe the "Play Anything" session - while still taking part in the "Tone" workshop.
