For those of you who use the Zoom recorders, do you find that the built in microphones work well or do you need to use an external microphone as well?
Hi Will,
Yes, you do played those notes separately. They are not tied. They function as the melody line while the triplets are added in addition. The second harp part outlines the melody clearly. (If you don’t have a copy of that to look at, you can find on at petruccimusiclibrary.com.) Having played this before, I would strongly encourage you split those measures between your right and left hands…the tempo moves at a clip and it’s next to impossible to play them with just one hand. Be sure to listen to the conductor’s preferred version (or, if they don’t have one, find a copy on youtube) so that you can get the melody in your head. Practice it with a metronome and consider playing along with the recording to get a feel for what it will actually sound like.
Best of Luck!

Hi Sam,
It sounds like we might be looking at similar types of schools. (I am hoping to major in a subject in the science field, so a strong science program is a must.) If you have the list, and would be willing to share it, you can email it to me at harpist293647@gmail.com.
Thanks for your help!

Your posts were so helpful! Thanks for sharing. I’m curious–is there any way to convert printed music to the iPad? (Can you scan them into a computer and then transfer them over?) Or can you only purchase pieces through the apps?
The harp ensemble I am in is about 40 members strong. Of those 40, about 32 are beginning/intermediate harpists. The other 8 are the more advanced students. It really helps to have some of the advanced students playing the melody and the others playing the harmony and then having the beginning/intermediate students double up on it. That way, there is still something if they get lost.
