Let’s give your left hand a groove upgrade.

If your harp accompaniment feels too straight, too simple, or just a little meh—you’re not alone.

This workshop will help you make your left hand more interesting, without making it more complicated.

Simple Syncopation is a 60-minute interactive playing workshop designed to help you confidently use syncopated left-hand patterns with your lead sheets. You’ll explore real-time, practical ways to bring more groove into your playing—without jazz panic, theory spirals, or overthinking.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to:

  • Play syncopated LH patterns that sound natural (not clunky)

  • Know when and how to use them with confidence

  • Combine them with a lead sheet melody—yes, hands together

  • Feel that groove moment (and know you can repeat it)

You don’t have to be “advanced” to sound good.
You just need tools that work—and a chance to try them out.

What's included:

  • 60-minute live Zoom session

  • A printable PDF handout with usable patterns + examples

  • Real-time play-along segments during the workshop

  • Replay access if you can’t make it live

  • Bonus live Q+A session at the end of the workshop (not included in the replay)

If you've ever thought:

  • “I’m tired of playing the same safe patterns over and over.”

  • “My left hand just plays straight notes and hopes for the best…”

You’re not alone. You're in the right place.

This is a playing workshop—bring your harp!

(All harps invited; just tune to key of C.)
Advanced beginners and intermediates especially welcome.
