PAPER SAVING PRINTING -

What's this?


From day 2, this system allows you to put your existing printed music from previous days back into your printer, and will only print the newest material, spaced so as to not interfere.  


So long as you load it the right way in your printer, this will reduce paper usage - but you may want to get familiar with your printer set up before trying this!

As we leap into another new year, here is your 2025 JaNEWary Challenge!


2024 was a special year for Harps North West, being our 20th year. This January 2025 is also special, as this is our 10th year of running these challenge months!


You can revisit our previous challenge months HERE>


This month, we shall be looking at a super piece from Wendy Stewart, which has three levels available to support ensemble playing. 


We will start this challenge slightly later this year, on Friday January 3rd, and continue through to Sunday January 12th, where we shall have a live zoom at 9pm GMT to complete our learning journey.  (This time chosen to fit in with that weekend's Winter Harp Festival, which many of you may be partaking in, and at which Wendy is also a tutor this year!) There will be some rest days, and that final weekend is dedicated to pulling the piece together, not adding in new parts, so will be able to run alongside the Winter Harp Festival should you be doing both.


Like we trialed successfully last year, we will then bring you a second challenge month offering in June - spacing out the fun and giving us more time with less pressure for each piece. We hope you enjoy!

(Videos will go live at 6am GMT on the relevant day -
