    I love this so much, one of my ultimate goals in learning the harp is to eventually play therapeutically in hospice, hospitals and healing ceremonies. This would be a lovely way to get more comfortable improvising in that setting :) Thank you so much for your videos!

    Excellent presentation on using a pentatonic scale for improv, Chiara! This pentatonic scale was used as a harp glissando by Disney in their opening credits for Tinkerbell flying around the front of the Disney Castle. I had forgotten about it until you displayed it here.

    Might I recommend Double Harmonic Major as a scale for improvisation? With it's clear center from which the scale emanates, and clear groupings and symmetry, it's almost impossible to sound bad. It makes sense to me that the Mayamalavagowla is taught to students as a foundational raga given its simplicity. And, well, it's got great color.

  • @lindapino2974

    When I tune my harp why does my string in D natural when I raise my lever it reads it E flat

    • @chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470
      @chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470  3 роки тому +2

      Because the D becomes D sharp and it's the same sound as E flat.

    Normal scale : es f g as bes c d es (E flat Major Scale)
    The 2n mode : f g as bes c d es f (F Dorian Scale)
    The modified scale : f gis as bes c dis es f.
    gis = as and dis = es. So,
    The scale is : f as bes c es f (F Minor Pentatonic Scale).
    Is my analysis correct?

    • @chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470
      @chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470  2 роки тому +1

      It is, well done! Although Bes doesn't really exist, it's H (b natural) or B (already b flat). Confusing, I know!

    The "Black Keys Only" mode of the harp :-)
    Great idea, especially for the glissandi!
    Alternative: Tune Ab Bb C D up 1 halfstep, then you get a whole tone scale.
