Harp for Wellbeing : One-hour Musical Experience
Is there someone on your Christmas list who you feel would love to have a go at playing the harp?
- This one-hour unique Musical Experience will begin with a short private concert of soothing and relaxing harp music.
- Deep breathing exercises will relax the body and mind.
- Using a lap-held Medieval Harp, I will teach some very simple scales and finger exercises, and then show how to turn those exercises into freely improvised music.
- I will teach some very simple songs and chants, which can be sung while playing the harp, or simply played on the harp while I sing.
- As well as the harp, there will be a selection of other therapeutic instruments to try, including chimes, singing bowls and tongue drum.
- I will end with a final 'Sound Bath' using the harp and other relaxing sounds.
The experience takes place in Devoran near Truro.
Upon payment I will send you a voucher, which can be unwrapped on Christmas Day, and used within 3 months.

Medieval Harp Music in Your Own Home
In days gone by, every self-respecting King would have his own private musician who he could call upon after dinner to soothe his nerves with beautiful music. Typically his minstrel would play a Lute, Harp, or Lyre.
For a very special Yuletide experience, I will bring my Medieval Harp to your home (within Cornwall) and play 30 minutes of relaxing and contemplative music.
I play medieval and renaissance music, folk songs from around the world, spiritual chants, and my own arrangements of Christmas Carols.
This could be part of a Christmas gathering, a quirky 30 minutes when your guests stop partying and enjoy a time of communal reflection and musical nourishment. Or perhaps a visit to an elderly relative who is house-bound and deserves a unique and special gift. Or just a self-indulgent treat to yourself and your partner, why not?!
For a 30-minute Medieval Harp recital in your own home, I charge £100.

30-minute Therapeutic Sound Bath
This would be the perfect experience if you and your friends would like a relaxing, therapeutic and unique time.
Yourself and your guests lie on the floor, with myself and my instruments in the centre. I will create a 30-minute 'Sound Bath' using chimes, singing bowls, drums, medieval harp, and song. The effect can be deeply relaxing, soothing, spiritually nourishing, and therapeutic.
