“What can I do to make my music more expressive?”
If I’ve been asked that question once, I’ve been asked it a thousand times. This isn’t a beginner question, either. It usually is a question of an intermediate level player. Once harpists achieve a fair level of technical competency, they have enough bandwidth to consider how to make their playing more musical. Until that point, it’s all about getting the right fingers on the right strings.
Naturally enough, most of us look to the dynamics to make our music more expressive. It’s a good plan. Following the dynamic markings that the composer has included allows us a glimpse of what the composer intended the music to be. Dynamics create differentiation in the music that helps a listener hear the intent of the music as well. And dynamics add variety so our music is more interesting. Dynamics are a great place to start if you’re ready to make your playing more expressive.
Usually, however, the harpists who ask me about making their music more expressive are already working at the dynamics. That’s why they’re asking the question; they aren’t sure why their music still doesn’t sound the way they want.
Today, I’m going to share my ideas on the techniques of musical expression that lie beyond the dynamics. I’m talking big picture concepts here, ideas that will, I hope, change the entire way you approach your music from practicing to performing it. These ideas are for every harpist at every level; beginners can use them and advanced harpists can always use a reminder about them.
Every piece, whether it’s super simple or virtuoso concert repertoire, can and should be played expressively and beautifully. It’s not about the number of notes you can play or the speed or facility of your fingers. It’s about finding the musical heart of what you play and not being afraid to put your own heart into it. Don’t let that scare you, though. I have some ultra-practical strategies for you that will help you make your music as expressive as you want it to be.
