This arrangement sounds classic and everyone will recognise it, but it also has some wonderful interest for intermediate players: 7th chords which give a slightly jazzy harmony and a few unexpected notes that perk up your ears. It’s great for intermediate harpists and advanced harpists who have limited time, because it sits well under the fingers and feels relatively easy to play, but sounds lush and interesting.

I enjoyed learning this much more than I thought. My Dad requested it, and I thought I would get tired of hearing it through all the practice, but in the end, I can now play this challenging piece and it sounds better every time. I loved this arrangement much more than all the other versions I’ve heard – such beautiful harmonies! – so it was worth it! So glad I didn’t give up. And of course, Christy-Lyn made practicing it so much easier! I never would have attempted this without the course to guide me. Now to try to get a recording without mistakes, lol! Also, I feel like this is much more challenging than Inisheer mid-intermediate, but maybe it’s because I am already familiar with playing the melody on that one.

I LOVE the rich, expressive chords in this beautiful arrangement, and Christy Lyn’s teaching makes this lovely piece so approachable. The loops make it easy — and fun — to practice. Thank you for another favorite to add to my repertoire!

This is an amazing course. This was my first LTH course, and my expectations were far and away surpassed. Thank you so much!

I loved learning Danny Boy. Of course, this is the beginning. I know that I’ll play it better as I continue to work on the tricky bits. I feel confident that this will become part of my repetoire. I love it and I hope my friends and relatives will share my enjoyment of the piece.

I really enjoyed every chord in this and the examples of counting and looping were so helpful.

Just the right amount of challenge for me at this stage. The methodical approach to counting while looping short sections is really helpful. This is a keeper!
