Скачать или смотреть Dorian Improvisation on the Harp by Ray Pool

This is a 14 minute play-along demonstration of how to improvise on the harp in the Dorian mode. The single chord of D minor (in the key of C Major) serves as the focus for seven different patterns of notes that can be utilized in countless ways.

It is a "constructed" improvisation with musical building blocks at its foundation. It is especially useful for people in the field of Harp Therapy. It can be used as a filler between verses of a tune or it can be a free standing improvisation when it is desirable to avoid any recognizable melody.

While playing in hospitals, I frequently relied upon this technique to create a calming atmosphere in situations that were emotionally charged. I spent many hours playing in an Emergency Room. I also played in the rooms of numerous patients who were making their final transitions. Dorian Improvisation was a major portion of my offering.

Pull up a harp and play along!
