This Week in Base Camp
Weekly Challenge: Turn It Upside Down
You won’t actually turn your music upside down for this challenge. Simply take part of one of your pieces and try the left hand part with your right hand and then the right hand part with your left hand. Hands separately is fine and if you need to change the octave so your hand can reach the strings that’s ok too. Complete the challenge by telling us which hand did better playing the other part.
Wednesday Tip: Slow Down
Why it's important to play slow.
Weekend Warmup: Dive Right In
Placing at the last possible moment allows your strings to resonate longer and is often the best strategy for avoiding buzzing. Today our warm-up will be on what I call “dive bomb” placing.

YOUNG COMPOSER SPOTLIGHT
Eileen C.K. Shafer is a multi-award winning harpist, teacher, and composer with a passion for bringing the joy of the harp to others. As an avid performing artist, she puts her heart into all of her artistic endeavors. She first fell in love with the stage at age four during her first dance recital and bought her first harp (named Cecilia) at age nine. These two events set the course for what would turn into a harpist’s career. After only nine months of in-person lessons, Eileen’s harp teacher unexpectedly quit teaching due to life circumstances. With no other teachers within close proximity, the then crazy idea of virtual lessons soon became a weekly reality that continues to this day. Whenever she is not at the harp, Eileen can often be found drawing, sewing garments, dancing, acting in theatrical productions, or pursuing her long-time hobby of filmmaking.
