Here are some links to some of the websites I regularly visit, and some links that I send students too..... in no particular order ... I'll keep adding to it too!
Beartramka Music - Danielle Perrett and David Gough - I love their music, and so do my students... and much of it is in the Trinity College syllabus.
Fingerless Wristies - I love these (and I have to admit to have several pairs, and living in them for the most of winter!!! Kate Watts makes them beautifully!
This website, and their newsletters, are so great - full of learning and teaching tips, downloadable music and they hold an annual harp weekend that I so want to go to..

This is the metronome I have on my computer - very easy to use - I find I use it often as I always know where it is!

The Edinburgh Harp Festival - I last attended in 1997 and its on my bucket list to go again. Its a great website with lots of interesting news about the Scottish harpers and they have just started putting up a downloadable tune each month!

Traditional and contemporary celtic music - dots and MP3s

Teaching intervals using songs? Perfect 5th = Twinkle, twinkle .... this is an advanced version of this concept.

This is brilliant! Download an MP3 into Speedshifter and then you can change the tempo of music to a speed where you can play along. And its free!

This is a great website for finding theory worksheets for kids - I think Susan Paradis must be an amazing teacher!!

The Axis of Awesome - very clever guys - wait til you hear them doing several songs all at once! Chords I V vi IV (1, 5, 6, 4) in that order.
