    Hi David,

    I feel like you have had a lot of wonderful advice but I wanted to just share my last few months with you. I broke my collar bone and needed surgery (6 screws and a plate). It was a painful procedure but was in the best surgical hands. I was SO happy I did surgery. The doctor said he had patients will movement after 2 weeks and after 10 days I could move my arm. David, I was playing my harp 4 weeks out of surgery. However, I could not do the heavy lifting. Just know that if you HAVE to have surgery, you will want physical therapy but sometimes the doctor doesn’t always prescribe it. Now it has been two months since surgery and I sat through a 3 hour rehearsal last night of Star Wars music. I felt great and was able to move the harp on my own.

    I wish you the best of luck. Hope all goes well and they take good care of you!

    My friend who studied with DW said the H is for “half as low” as pdlt. So between normal position and pdlt 🙂

    I think this is a wonderful idea. However, I believe you should be knocking on the doors of former Grandjany students instead of the AHS. They all hold the information you are looking to compile. Good luck and keep me posted!

    Hi Lorie!

    I am interested in what these are like… I am teaching at a high school and looking for new ensemble material. Could you also share with me?

    too funny, when I read the first line, I immediately thought of Vanille! However, have you tried Pedals on Vacation? xx

    I know this is really late in coming but my friend Georgina Wells lives in Ripon and she is a wonderful harpist and teacher. Also Anita Aslin lives just outside of York. Hope you have come across them already!

    I love this program. It will insert pedal changes for you too!
