Programa de Harpa
Entre minhas descobertas enquanto estive na Espanha, está a de um programa completo de 10 anos de harpa da professora espanhola Beatriz Martin-Ruiz, que vive nos EUA. O programa pode ser acessado no site da harpista, clicando aqui. Mas eu achei tão útil, que resolvi copiar e colar aqui para não correr o risco de perder esse achado, já que na internet não se pode confiar (eu, se fosse você, também não confiaria nesse blog e copiaria para meu próprio computador tudo aquilo que eu achasse útil - nunca se sabe quando vai dar a louca na harpista, e ela vai resolver fechar o blog).
Programas como esse são úteis, apesar de que, é claro, devem haver muitas divergências entre diferentes professores, como é normal em qualquer instrumento ou qualquer área do conhecimento. Apenas serve como um guia para nos orientar e poder fazer comparações e ter novas ideias.
Aqui podemos encontrar dicas de livros de técnica, músicas para cada nível, leitura complementar. Achei muito, muito útil, especialmente para quem dá aulas ou não tem um professor ao lado o tempo todo. Interessante ver a duração do curso, 10 anos. Aprender a tocar harpa, em nenhuma parte do mundo é algo que se faz da noite para o dia. A partir do sétimo ano, de acordo com este programa, o estudo é voltado para a preparação para exames para entrar na universidade.
10-Year Program for Harp Students of Beatriz Martin-Ruiz
The purpose of this program is to provide students with guidance during their harp studies. It is broken up in three major groups: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each year has been designed to be comfortably completed in one school year. Each year the student will find a list of minimum technical and musical aspects to develop, as well as methods, or books of etudes that will be used during that year. A list of Solo and Ensemble repertoire has also been provided. This is intended as a reference, but the students should aim to complete the minimum requirements for each year before they move on to the next year/level. Once the minimum requirements are satisfied, the amount of pieces prepared by the student will depend on his/her personal aptitude. At the end of each year a list of additional books has been included; they are not required, but strongly recommended. To strengthen each student’s musical knowledge and harp background, I encourage the harp teacher to arrange for a time to discuss the reading assignments during private lessons, or in master classes. Also included is a list of general requirements for the final examinations (juries) at the end of each year.
Following is a general description of the goals intended for each major group.
BEGINNER LEVEL
This three-year cycle covers learning to read music and understanding and using musical terms; simple harmony with chords and tonalities; basic music history; understanding and mastering all the basic finger and feet exercises; and tuning the harp – students will be required to participate in all studio recitals.
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
In this cycle of three years the student is expected to develop full hand-feet coordination with more advanced technique. Music History and Harp History are crucial as the student will be exposed to a wide variety of composers and styles, sight-reading and memorization become top priorities, for developing professional skills and for developing repertoire.
ADVANCED LEVEL
In this four-year cycle we will work to prepare for auditions and competitions. Finger independence should be mastered by now; we focus on endurance, and repertoire. One full-length recital, from memory, is required. Each year the student will perform regularly with harp ensembles and chamber groups, and get involved in orchestral repertoire classes and staged mock auditions. [By now we will be in college-level classes, although not necessarily in college]
