The Cairns Harp Connection kicked off with a day long workshop led by Joy Zahner and myself. We had a dozen harpists on the day, from pre-beginners - never touched a harp - to seasoned players. Lots of fun and learning had by all, and everyone playing away by the end of the day. We focused on getting good position and relaxed technique, as well as learning tunes and improvisation. A happy and inspiring day!
