Audios
Audio #1 Listen to each interval and write down what you hear, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. I'll play each interval followed by each individual note, then the interval again for each one. If you're not sure, you can listen to this audio again until you think you've got it. Please don't sit at your harp and try to pluck the notes to determine the intervals -- this is an exercise for your ear!
Audio #2 Listen to each chord and write down which chord quality you are hearing, major, minor or diminished. I will play the chord first, then individual notes in the chord, and then the chord again for each one. Again, listen again if you're not sure, and do this with your ear rather than looking at your harp to decide what notes I'm playing.
Audio #3 Listen to each example and write either simple or compound plus duple, triple or quadruple. A hint is that compound meter always has the beat divided into groups of three eighth notes... And another hint is that I'll be playing against a metronome set to the underlying stress for each.
Audio #4 Listen to each scale and write the key signature -- you will need to try to find the keynote on your harp for this one. Once you identify the key note, then you can figure out how many sharps or flats there would be. If you tune in C, you may need to use an enharmonic to match the keynote I'm playing.
Audio #5 Listen to how I am playing this tune using rubato to express a different mood each of the three times through.
Audio #6 Here is an excerpt from First Arabesque by Claude Debussy.
