WORKSHOP “TELLING of TALES”
Nancy Thym

How can I enrich stories with harp, song or other instruments?
How can I incorporate stories into my harp programs?
These are the main themes of the workshop “Telling of Tales ” which is intended for musicians who wish to learn more about storytelling as well as storytellers who would like to add music to their stories.

Where can I find the appropriate story and the right music to go with it?
Sources for music and stories about music and musicians will be discussed as well as appropriate harps and other instruments for storytelling.

What must I take into account in learning and presenting a story?
The workshop will address different techniques for learning stories and make them accessible through various exercises. Methods for developing harp accompaniments which still leave the mind able to concentrate on the story will be presented.
