    I was taught Salzedo and couldn’t understand why some folks were making fun of me for it.

    R/G trolls are to be ignored, and likewise, if a harpist plays R/G method and the Salzedo trolls start taking verbal cheap shots, it’s a reflection of their own sick souls, not you! Make music for the JOY of it, and just keep your technique strong and consistent and to YOU inner standard, no matter what the trolls have to say!

    In the music world, too many musicians would rather misuse their limited God-given time to belittle others, rather than working hard and long on their own art. Just let the whirling dervishes whirl, and enjoy what you do and get out there and do it!

    I just want to say that Salzedo was a great admirer of Henriette Renie.

    If you make the sound that YOU want to make, then the means of production are irrelevant… unless you’re talking about excessive or unnecessary physical stress.

    P.S., it is Grandjany, not Granjany or Grandjanay, as so many are prone to mispronounce the name.

    When people say things like that, it could be anything or nothing, it is not coming from reality. More than likely, they are just repeating/parrotting something they have heard said, or an attitude.

    wow, did I see this correctly. The revival of a 2003 thread…

    By the way, his name is Grandjany, and it is NOT pronouned Grand-ja-nay. It is Grand-ja-nee. I think if we study 19th century harp methods, we will find some of the same differences occurring then. Conflicts between schools of playing are an inherently French tradition! The French harp tradition has a few schools of playing, but the piano tradition has many! Just imagine that.
