Thank you so much for the reply, ideas, and encouragement. I’m going to look into the Facebook groups! It had actually crossed my mind that there may be other harpist/musician/mom groups out there.
Alyson, I think you’re doing a great job readjusting to your new stage in life. It’s wonderful that you have a goal you’re working towards! I always find it useful when I have a clear one. Right now mine is arranging hymns for the harp, keeping up my current skill, and slowly learning new pieces- but being very flexible about it!
I’ve attached a really basic draft of what I’m trying to do.
Alyson, thanks for the tips! It sounds very similar to what I’ve done 🙂 The playpen is such a help for short amounts of time. I am home, which does give me more flexibility, although it isn’t always easy. I am working on trying to get into a routine of keeping a running list of harp music/exercises/projects to go straight to when I do have free time, and ranking them by how much time I would need to dedicate to them to get the most profit. That way I can know if I have 10 min or 30 min. which musical aspect of harp I can go straight to and get something accomplished throughout the day!
I’m 4’11” and I purchased a L&H style 30. While I am sure I could have found a ways to play it, I ended up selling it and purchasing a 1969 L&H style 17. The 17 was just a bit smaller and I felt more comfortable at it.
Patricia,
Wow! Thank you very much. You put a lot into your comment. I will have to look into all of these titles.Hannah
The upside down U shape with little swoops on the ends and put above a note. This is the one Gretchen is explaining.
Patricia,
I couldn’t agree with you more! Thank you for encouraging all of us to share our gifts with others.
Actually, right before I read your post I was planning on calling my local seniors center to set up regular performance visits.
Glad to know there are others out there thinking of doing the same.
