    Thanks for the great tips- the graphite was just the thing. Sorry, I should have updated this! I was able to sell the harp (traded in with Venus harps, actually).

    I know it has been quite a while, but that in fact was part of why I wanted to ask something: How is it going? How are you finding double-majoring working out? And any suggestions abut where you looked to find good programs for both? Thank you!

    Thank you, Tayce, that was rather what I was looking for. I’ve been thinking of retirement/nursing homes because there aren’t many restaurants/hotels around here that I can even conceive wanting a harpist… though there sure are a good number of the former. I thought about the undercutting issue, but there aren’t too many musicians around here either, and I don’t know of any harpists. Thanks all for the advice!

    Thank you very much for your responses! The benefits you mention all sound great, though I think I stand a chance of making something. But then I don’t really know how I should calculate the cost of something regular (as in how does it to relate to the price of a one-time job?) I didn’t realize that about Lincoln; though of course, I’ve only visited. Thanks again!

    I’m sorry I can’t tell you specifically; I don’t know where my teacher’s got them, but you might try sheetmusicplus, virtualsheetmusic, free-scores.com, Melody’s, Vanderbilt… there are several options for sheet music, and some have free downloads too! Hope this helps a bit.

    Yes, Nataliana is a great suggestion. I would also highly recommend Pedals on Vacation, by Yehezkiel Braun, though its a bit more difficult. It really deserves a better name, but it tells you right away that its lever harp accessible! Promenade a Marley by Annie Challan for lever harp is a fun little piece, and Variations sur un theme de Mozart as well as Sonata in the Classical style by John Pratt provide more of a challenge in the way of strictly classical repertoire. That’s about all I can think of right now, but I’m sure I could find more if you were interested.
