Workshops
 
Eleanor enjoys taking masterclasses and workshops for harp students, where a limited number of students are selected to take part in something appropriate to their age group and level of skill. These sessions offer students a valuable opportunity to socialise with other harpists, compare notes and blisters, take their first step towards ensemble playing and gain confidence performing.  
 
For many of these sessions, Eleanor is lucky to have the expertise and bubbly enthusiasm of her duo partner Keziah Thomas to call upon! Keziah and Eleanor host events together, encouraging students to get into a particular character at their harp, write their own short compositions and learn more about the wonderful effects and fun aspects to their instrument, which may not be covered in their harp lessons! see photo!  
 
Eleanor has been leading school assemblies and interactive performances for many years and loves getting to grips with the skills and demands of every group. She is equally at home with primary school children as she is with adults with mental or physical disabilities and believes that everyone can have a go at the harp, no matter what disadvantage they may have, and everyone has fun joining in with percussion instruments and singing too!
