Strings of Hope
Online harp community for players who want to learn intuitively and from the heart

Many aspiring harpists get stuck memorizing sheet music without ever learning to play by feel. Strings of Hope is an online and in-person community built around intuitive, therapeutic harp playing, giving members a place to build technical skill alongside creative and emotional expression.
Founded by Simcha Tzuf, the community combines a structured Harp Learning Library with workshop replays, play-alongs, and chord charts, so members can revisit lessons at their own pace. Beyond the digital library, members can join in-person retreats, including annual gatherings in Galilee, Israel, for a deeper, community-based learning experience.
Outcomes
- Play harp intuitively instead of just from sheet music
