An Introduction to Jazz Harp

Educational DVD

Felice Pomeranz, Harp
Matt Marvuglio, Flute
Barry Smith, Acoustic Bass
Yoron Israel, Drums

This DVD was created to help develop a pedal harpist’s basic skills of improvising and playing, whether in a solo setting or in a group. The examples showcase the Felice Pomeranz Jazz Quartet, featuring Matt Marvuglio, flute, Barry Smith, acoustic bass, and Yoron Israel, drums. Three original tunes are used for the basis of beginning improvisation, playing in a groove, chords and voicings, and much more. A section is devoted to teaching you how to work on scales, pedaling, and chords. There is a helpful companion workbook that can be downloaded online. Having a basic knowledge of scales, keys, and beginning chords is helpful to making the most of this lesson.
