- 2 days ago by harpcolumn Happy Monday harpists! May we present to you Isabelle Perrin's arrangement of the classic Variations in C Major, by Haydn. Although this piece was originally written for piano, we harpists have adopted it (or should we say adapted it?) for our very own. You'll find a few other versions out there, but Perrin's edits make it a bit more accessible for intermediate to advanced level players. We're pretty excited about it! Plus we have a #newmusicmonday treat for you. Today only this piece is 10% off the regular price! Head on over to harpcolumnmusic.com to have a listen and download

- 1 week ago by harpcolumn This sunny winter day at Harp Column HQ finds us looking back at Lara Somogyi’s interview in the current January/February 2020 issue of Harp Column. We think it will be hard NOT to be excited about playing the harp after reading what Lara has to say. Her positive outlook is as sunny and bright as that L.A. weather Lara is such a fan of.☀️ “The instrument is a vessel for self expression and for connection. It’s why we all play music—to make the audience feel something; to feel something ourselves.” Preach! Lara’s article kicks off a year of interviews we

- 1 week ago by harpcolumn A few weeks ago we got a message from composer @gary .schocker asking if we'd be interested in a piece written by his father, Paul Schocker, dedicated to harp legend Mildred Dilling. Ummm—YES! Firstly, we had no idea Gary's father was a composer, and secondly, of course we weren't going to turn down an original harp solo dedicated to Mildred Dilling! We didn't have to think twice about making it available on Harp Column Music. We're happy to let you know that you can head on over to harpcolumnmusic.com to listen to @billvanpatten perform this intermediate pedal harp solo, and download
- 1 week ago by harpcolumn @capobianco .chiara is taking downsizing to a new level! The tiny VW Beetle didn’t make the cut in our latest #harpmobile review, but maybe we need to think again after seeing this picture! What’s the smallest vehicle you’ve ever transported your harp in? Tell us in the comments. Check out the September-October 2019 issue of Harp Column for our review of some more practical (although not nearly as fun) harp-moving cars. #harp #harpist #harpmoving #harpcar #harpmobile #harpmobilereview #vwbeetle #practicalharpist
