Tracey,
He did leave that as a possible option, but I’m just not sure if it will work. Surprisingly, my harp lessons are currently over Skype because I couldn’t find anyone in the area who could take me through college work. But I don’t see piano working as well because of the volume and resonance it has vs. harp. Plus, I have had a couple of in person lessons with my harp teacher, and so I know from experience that even though Skype “feels just like they are there” there really is a huge difference/ disadvantage. I thought about possibly having two teachers. An in person lesson with someone new once a week, and then do one or two a month over Skype, but I’m concerned with having conflicting views for the music. I have heard of several advanced harpist having two teachers. Has anyone here done that? How did it work for you? How did you not feel like a volley ball being passed back and forth every week with ” teacher #1 told me one thing but teacher #2 told me something else”?Thank you, Angela, for understanding my grief. I should have mentioned that I’m only 20 and in the middle of working towards a music degree, so trying to make it on my own is not an option. This is the most important time in my life concerning music. I just don’t know how to accept someone new for the next three years as I finish my degree.
I’m able to answer questions pretty well and continue to play, but if the person keeps on trying to carry on a conversation, I finally give up, play my current chord as an arpeggio up the harp, and “end” the piece.
I was playing at a mall during Christmas time last year, when all of the sudden a black guy in his early 20s came RUNNING FULL SPEED out of nowhere,
