What a pretty harp Eliza! Can you take more photos? We don’t see aoyamas where I live and I love cherry blossoms. I would love to see it in the daylight or something. What kind of harp did you have before and do you prefer this one?
Tell us more about your Princess Sakura and what you feel about it now that it’s arrived and you’ve played on it. Photos?
you can read what she wrote in the method
she uses it as an example discusses it
there’s an index to find it quickly
“He” is a great song for church stuff and it’s easy on harp
there’s an easy version and a “hard” version which isn’t hard at all
If you only have to travel 2-5 hours to the nearest harp store consider yourself very lucky. Most people in the US are looking at very far drives to get to harp stores, or actual trips to other states.
Thanks for all the advice. I do charge by the month but I have three students whose families seem to never be able to provide the money on time. I will have to use the “lessons on hold until payment received approach.” I usually try to talk to the parents in person but they drop the kids off when they need to pay and I can’t get to them before they’ve driven away. I’ll have to send a formal letter with a reminder of studio policy.
I have the Trio Verlaine recording but it doesn’t sound like the page. Have you compared the recording to the music?
Thanks you are always helpful. Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I’ll order it now. Thanks again for being so helpful.
It’s not hard except for two or three things. Spend a lot of time on the arpeggios in movement 7 because they can be taken faster than you might want. It’s beautiful.
It’s so sad but what you haven’t said is that it isn’t hard to find harpists who can play but harpists who will do without pay even if they have a different career and many of us would probably not be happy about some harpist who did a full set of rehearsals and performances for a low fee and like the oboist said professional harpists can’t make the committment without the income. A lot of community groups go supposedly professional but still don’t pay or don’t pay enough and a lot of good harpists have union memberships on top of that. We need more harp and less synth. More financial support for music groups.
