    HI Kay:

    Interesting topic. My first public performance was about 4 years ago. I played in a recital–about 20 harpists. Half kids/teens..the other half adults.

    Best,

    Brook:

    To date, I have ordered 4 copies of your sheet music. One for me and one for three local harpists/friends–all of whom are professionals. They all love it. One mentioned she would play it at weddings.

    I’m currently working on the piece and can play through it fairly smoothly. Again, thanks!

    Cheers,

    Hello:

    It’s fun hearing about different pets and how they react to the harp. I mentioned the little Maltese that likes to sit at the base of the harp and watch my hands intently.

    If possible, you could rent a harp. That’s a good place to start.
