Free Online Workshop: Making Hands Work Together with Zuzanna Olbrýs
Latest
July 10, 2025
Join Zuzanna Olbrýs for an exciting online workshop happening on July 11th!
Designed for late beginners (and beyond), this session offers valuable insights into one of the most essential, yet complex, aspects of learning to play the harp: coordinating the hands. It can sound so simple, can’t it? But we all know better!
“Putting hands together is genuinely tricky—and in my journey as a harp teacher, I’ve seen so many harpists get stuck, even when each hand is solid on its own”
By analysing the process through her teaching practice, Zuzanna identified what she sees as the key elements of putting the hands together, which can be easily missed when practising alone. The result of this is the development of thoughtful strategies, “so things finally *click* and progress starts to feel natural again.”
Plus, there’s an optional follow-up Q&A on July 18th to check progress and help you to implement the strategies you will be introduced to at the workshop.
What’s more, if you are unable to attend the session at the scheduled time, you can still sign up and access a recording of the workshop. This is available as part of a bundle at an early-bird price.
All details can be found here.
The aim of this training is to play with more confidence and enhance the connection between your mind, your fingers, and the harp!
NB: The workshop will be held in English.
