    Bethany, the site TravelSmith.com has many types of clothing but item 50148, “Women’s Ruffled Cardigan” in either black, red, or seafoam, looks stunning worn over a long skirt or Palazzo pants, and any top. It is long enough to cover the entire hip area, has long sleeves ending in ruffles, and the front opening, with no closures, is ruffled all the way down. For a woman conductor, vocal soloist, or harpist. it lends dignity.

    Katie, if you and your teacher have “used up most of the standards” of high school level harp parts in orchestra music, be sure you also look at lists that American Harp Society Project 2000 put together for just that purpose. GO TO: http://www.harpsociety.org/resources/education2000.html. There are periodic updates. Here is the phone number: (203) 966 7616. The site lists published music for string ensembles, orchestral works, and selections for band or choir (Grades 1 through 12) that include harp parts; includes publisher information, orchestration,and level for both the ensemble and the harp part.

    Drapers.com, selling by free catalog or online, has modest evening gowns along with daytime attire, They are in Irvine, California. I agree with a comment above, that if you sew your possibilities are endless and so rewarding when you create your own gown, or modify an existing one.

    Not knowing where you are located, you could contact a harp dealer or maker on the U.S. east coast (such as Virginia Harp Center), midwest (Lyon and Healy in Chicago), or west coast

    If you go to http://www.bronnjourney.com you’ll find about 19 CDa listed, but in his current flyer, that I receive, I counted 21. We in Washington State are very proud of this humble man who plays beautifully, and his repertoire is amazing.

    in reply to: teaching rhythm #84033

    Sometimes harp teachers could look into how rhythm may be taught to other instrumentalists. Sally O’Reilly’s String Rhythms (published by Neil A. Kjos Music Co., in San Diego CA has a very flavorful way of doing this; with pies! Apple pie is eighth-eighth-quarter. Banana is sixteenth-eighth -sixteenth. Peppermint pie is dotted eighth-sixteenth-eighth-dotted quarter, and so on toward the end of the book where the mixed pies are found such as March from “The Nutcracker”, Promenade by Moussorgsky, etc.
