Harpejji Baroque Improvisation
I’ve been practicing classical improvisation on the harpejji for some months now, and while experimenting I came up with a prelude in C major that I thought was quite nice.

The 'Harpejji Solo' project
For various reasons this site has been mostly dormant recently, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve been doing nothing! Among others, after having played mostly accompaniment on the harpejji for years, I decided to explore more what can be done with the instrument in a solo setting. (This exploration has been partly supported by a grant offered by the City of Neuchâtel, many thanks for that!)

Harpejji hand independance
This is the fourth in a series of articles about harpejji technique. The first one was about major scales and the second and third ones were about right hand jazz voicings. This time, let’s talk about hand independence! Of course, if you’ve been playing the piano before, hand independence is probably not the greatest challenge when picking up the harpejji. However, if you’ve been playing a melodic instrument or if harpejji is your first musical instrument, you’ll probably need to develop this skill (at least it was the case for me!
