Re: [Harp-L] HELP!!!

Trip,

I saw Annie Raines on a PBS special one time in front of a classroom full of kids... if I recall correctly, she had taught them the "Mannish Boy" lick, then they wrote a simple blues tune together in the "Walkin Blues" form.  Woke up in Elkins... What did I see... Trip Henderson standing there... Trying to teach me... repeat.  That might be good for a few minutes.

Its time this that i'm glad to have harp-l as a resource to call on. i'm
down in elkins west virginia doing some teaching (old-time harp) and
learning (singing) and i've been asked to do a children's harp workshop at
this Saturday's big outdoor festival. so, my question is, what's a fun
involving lesson plan for a single 30 minute workshop for kids - anyone out
there with some experience doing something like this? i asked the Augusta
staff to order a bunch of inexpensive harps in the key of C from elderly
instruments and they will be here today. i want something everyone can dig
into...ideas much appreciated!!!!
thanks in advance!
