Hi there! I am in the process of just beginning to get harp lessons with a teacher – but am eager to get a head start!! I wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts/has seen the following videos

Her video is very important as a document of her playing and teaching, with excellent demonstrations by Elizabeth Morse. It is not a very professional production, unfortunately, but when Miss Lawrence got moving on a project, it had to get done regardless of minor details like sound. Her

Several people have copies, and you can catch sometimes on public tv on the Classic Arts Showcase, which is where it was captured from. It’s not public domain, exactly, or might be, but it’s not on the market either. That said, your teacher is your most important source. And reading the Method carefully, just don’t take arms parallel to the floor too literally, it just means elbows up enough for the arm to support the hands and transfer force from your back. Who are you studying with?
April 14, 2008 at 2:37 am #161684patricia-jaegerMemberWilliam, I am familiar with the Schlomovitz Beginning Harp Book Nos 1 and 2, each with videos, produced by Salvi Harps, and featuring Renee Schlomovitz Quinn demonstrating the pieces in the books. I’m also familiar with Pamela Bruner’s Books 1 and 2, and DVD of both together, called “Play The Harp Beautifully.” Both of these publications are about the same price, and each is very good for learning the harp.

April 14, 2008 at 2:40 pm #161686unknown-userParticipantThanks Patricia! Great insight – will definitely try to head (up) to Virginia Harp Center – or (down) to Atlanta Harp Center = I’m kind of in the middle here in Charlotte NC!! Kind regards – William
April 14, 2008 at 2:44 pm #161687unknown-userParticipantHi Saul! Thanks again for your input! I will actually contact our local pbs channel here in Charlotte to find out times that they might be broadcasting this… Also our University channels puts on quite a bit of “arts” video footage – might be worth while for me to contact them as well… Thanks for the tip!
April 14, 2008 at 2:45 pm #161688unknown-userParticipantThanks Jan for the link! Great! Will now go and take a look at it! Kind regards – William

Cheers,
Gloria
June 30, 2008 at 10:05 pm #161691jan-fettyParticipantCarian, if you go to the virtualharpcircle group on Yahoo, I think you’ll find posts by members who use Pamela Bruner and Cindy Kleinstuber methods.
