Nothing beats a pentatonic scale!

Your videos on harp are best. Thankyou

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Most glad you like them!

[@c.m.1311]

I love this so much, one of my ultimate goals in learning the harp is to eventually play therapeutically in hospice, hospitals and healing ceremonies. This would be a lovely way to get more comfortable improvising in that setting :) Thank you so much for your videos!

[@LorellaBi]

Funziona benissimo! Lo adoro

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Ottimo!!! Buon divertimento!

[@moniquer.9659]

I just found your video about the harp you are using. Thanks for the review video about the FH36 by Dusty Strings!

[@GorefeastDrummer]

you truly inspire me to just enjoy my harp. improvise and feel. Im still working on fundamentals though. but I am eager to get to this level someday

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

I'm glad! Yes the secret is to know as much as you can, without loosing this wonderful inspiration and freedom....a good combination! You'll definitely get there, just keep learning and enjoying!!! :-D

Excellent presentation on using a pentatonic scale for improv, Chiara! This pentatonic scale was used as a harp glissando by Disney in their opening credits for Tinkerbell flying around the front of the Disney Castle. I had forgotten about it until you displayed it here.

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Nice! Yes it's used a lot also in audiobooks, the same scale was used in Pocahontas in the Italian version when you had to turn the page :-D

[@velvetstitching3631]

Your fingers move so gracefully on those strings! I love your videos! They are so fun and inspirational! ❤️

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@ModelOfAModernMajor]

Might I recommend Double Harmonic Major as a scale for improvisation? With it's clear center from which the scale emanates, and clear groupings and symmetry, it's almost impossible to sound bad. It makes sense to me that the Mayamalavagowla is taught to students as a foundational raga given its simplicity. And, well, it's got great color.

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

I love that scale! Thank you for suggesting!

[@kpunkt.klaviermusik]

The "Black Keys Only" mode of the harp :-) Great idea, especially for the glissandi! Alternative: Tune Ab Bb C D up 1 halfstep, then you get a whole tone scale.

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Yes black keys of the piano are fun as well! I love whole tone scale sounding but it's quite annoying to tune extra all this strings! ;-D

[@kpunkt.klaviermusik]

@@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470 What...??? :-) Why is it annoying to set 4 levers per octave, which are direct successive to each other? Oh wait, there is even a simpler solution: Let the levers ABCD down and turn EFG up!

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

@@kpunkt.klaviermusik To me tuning is a pain, if I had to change semitones and back it's even more annoying :-D .....but sometimes I still do it ;-)

[@putunebakulgethuk29]

Normal scale : es f g as bes c d es (E flat Major Scale) The 2n mode : f g as bes c d es f (F Dorian Scale) The modified scale : f gis as bes c dis es f. gis = as and dis = es. So, The scale is : f as bes c es f (F Minor Pentatonic Scale). Is my analysis correct?

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

It is, well done! Although Bes doesn't really exist, it's H (b natural) or B (already b flat). Confusing, I know!

[@putunebakulgethuk29]

@@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470 I'm not. By the way, I recommended this scale : es g as b d (no more BES🤭). It sounds like gamêlan music.

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

@@putunebakulgethuk29 I'll try it!!! Thanks!

[@katouise1864]

Oh this is so pretty. Does anyone know how to tune a harp for this without levers? What would the usual CDEFGAB notes look like? I’d love to tune mine manually to try this.

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

You just have to have each string tuned like this; F, G#, Ab, Bb, C, D#, EB 👋

[@eloisebaker1125]

Hello! Greeeeeaaaaat video! I just received a lap harp for my birthday, is there any chance I can play pentatonic scale on a 16 strings harp by changing the tuning 😁? Or no 😬. Thank you for your time

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Of course you can! Happy tuning!

[@lindapino2974]

When I tune my harp why does my string in D natural when I raise my lever it reads it E flat

[@chiarapedrazzettiarpatelie6470]

Because the D becomes D sharp and it's the same sound as E flat.
