Every November, Harps Northwest (a registered charity whose main aim is to promote playing, teaching and appreciation of the harp), choose and subsidise two different expert harpists s guest tutors to spend a weekend tutoring players of the small harp. These annual courses are open to anyone and are a fantastic opportunity to develop playing and to spend quality time with other harpists.
Past guest tutors have included: Tamsin Dearnley and Mary Dunsford (2013), Robin Huw Bowen & Charlotte Peterson (2014), Isobel Mieras & Jan Bennett (2015), Gillian Fleetwood and Lily Neill (2016). Karen Marshalsay and Eleanor Turner (2017).
