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 if no time has passed at all, here is your 2026 JaNEWary Challenge!

You can revisit our previous challenge months HERE>

This month, we shall be looking at a gorgeous new piece from Karen Marshalsay, called The Grey Heron Stands.

We start this challenge on January 1st, and continue through to Thursday January 15th, where we shall have a live zoom at 8pm GMT to complete our learning journey.  (This date chosen to fit in with that weekend's Winter Harp Festival, which many of you may be partaking in.) There will be some rest periods every few days, allowing for pulling together all you have worked on so far, and also allowing breathing room and indeed, room to "catch up" if you miss a day.  That said, as ever, there is no compulsion to follow along live, the videos will stay up henceforth!

There is no music on screen this year, so do take the time to get familiar with your printer and make use of the paper-saving printing (where you reinput your existing page back into the printer to add the next section to the same page).  This also allows you to keep any fingering or markings you have added, without having to rewrite.

Keep your eyes open later in the year, where 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!
