Welcome students of the Kingdom Online Harp School. This webpage is designed to provide you with the resources that you will want to refer to as you go through each class. During each LIVE class the actual sessions will be recorded and posted on our Facebook Page so that you can
review the content of the lesson whenever you like.
Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/kingdomharpschool where you can post to and let your fellow students know a bit about yourself. This
will be especially useful for practicing songs, as you will be able to play along with the segments that were recorded at the Jerusalem Harp School
classroom. These segments that are used during our online class time can be found in the form below. I encourage you to watch the entire content provided for you as this is a great value to you and we will not have time to use every moment from the Jerusalem School. The full content of the Jerusalem school will be made available on this page “part-by-part” as we cover the topics during our school time.
There will be assignments where I will ask you to view specific segments and I will provide you with the exact link to view. We will typically review the topic of the assignment at the beginning of each lesson to check in to see how you are understanding the content. These assignments will be posted on this webpage week-by-week so you will be able to click on the link and watch the content, so be sure and watch for the information on this page every week. I suggest that as you watch, you should take notes to enhance your retention.
During our live class time we will be focusing on the more hands-on harp playing, however, there is a significant devotional and spiritual component that will be assigned to you each week that will be transformational. It is my deep desire to see a prophetic mantle imparted to you as we meet together during the school. It is my hope that you will experience the power of what God is doing as He is restoring the use of the harp in these End Times.
Shalom,
Michael-David
End of School Farewell Message from Michael-David – August 4 – 2022
Well, can you believe it, here we are in the final class of the 13 lessons in the Kingdom Harp School. You have learned a lot during these intense times together. It is my desire that you take all that you have learned and continue to work on your technique and the many songs that I have taught you. Even if you have not yet mastered the playing of these songs, you can progress from just playing the bass note, adding the right hand and playing both hands together – just as I have taught throughout the lessons.
As you continue to play the exercises using your scales and chords your dexterity and speed will constantly and constantly improve. As you continue to practice the songs, you will come to the place where you will be able play both hands together and sing at the same time at the proper performance speed. At that point you will able to comfortably play along with the students in the Jerusalem Harp School recordings that I have given you access to and play your harp with confidence. I hope that you will expand your repertoire by searching the Internet for songs that you enjoy. I have given you enough knowledge to be able to find a song, look at the chords and even transpose them chord chart if you’d like, and ultimately form the cords on your harp and accompany yourself. This is a life-long pursuit that will bring you a lot of satisfaction.
However, the most important thing that I hope you have taken away from this harp school, is the ability and desire to use your harp for your own personal worship. I hope that you have had an encounter with God and have been inspired to pray and play the harp, especially using the scriptures as your lyric sheet. I want to encourage you look for opportunities to pray and play for others as you minister to them on the harp. Make a habit of using your harp in your own times of prayer. I’m sure that this will enhance your times with the Lord.
And so I leave you with this deeply significant song that you can listen to on the recording of this last lesson on the Harp School FaceBook. It is the Aaronic Blessing with the original melody as indicated by the cantilation pointings on the original Hebrew letters from Numbers 6:24-26. Here are the words and chords:
Aaronic Blessing (B down and Es up – also add F#)
D
Y’varech’cha Adonai v’yeesh’m’reicha.
Gm D
Yaer Adonai panav eleicha veechooneka.
Gm D
Yeesa Adonai panav eleicha v’yasem l’cha shalom.
“The LORD bless you and keep you,
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.”
Here are the last few songs that we covered in the the last class that you can practise with:

Here are a few questions I will be asking at the start of the second session:
When you watched the “4. Tuning and Care of Your Harp” that was assigned, what is the parable of the tuning of your harp and being in harmony with God and other believers?
In the recording I briefly discussed the idea of the tuning standard A440? Do you think there is any special benefit to using some other tuning standard? Does this slight variation make a special difference or is it more important to be “tuned in your heart”?
How is the tuner a plumb line as it relates to the Word of God?
