Canon in D is often requested as a wedding processional, but is beautiful to play at any time. Christy-Lyn’s arrangements of Canon in D are specifically crafted to work well on the harp and include glissandos, arpeggios and rolled chords that bring out the beauty of the instrument. This product includes 6 options of arrangements! They are for early-intermediate harp, mid-intermediate harp, or a build-your-own version where you can choose from 25 variations to create an arrangement that feels comfortable for you. Each of these has a big harp and small harp version.

Christy Lynn explains everything so perfectly. My hands are small and stretching them open was a chore. However the suggestions Christy Lynn gave help me to put my mind into directing my hand more forward and it became do able. A lovely piece and the ideas and choosing which sessions to do in an arrangement gives me ideas to make arrangements of my own in whatever I’m doing. Thank you

There is such variety in complexity of the variations provided in this Canon in D course… there’s a version to meet almost everyone’s skill level and needs. I enjoyed the freedom to create my own individualized arrangement and to be able to build upon it (or not!) Yet another wonderfully prepared and executed course by Christy-Lyn. Thank you! With her teaching, I’ve progressed from a complete beginner to playing mid-intermediate arrangements in seven months. 😀

Nice selection of variations in this choose-your-own-adventure arrangement. Without the “classic” tricky bit with all the 16th notes, there’s no climax and the piece feels incomplete to me, so I’ll learn that part from Sylvia Woods’s arrangement and work it into my own version from this course. Overall this has been a pleasant way to (mostly) learn to play this piece.

Love the concept of variations to learning this piece … which gives the opportunity to progress learnings as I gain more experience with the harp.
