Hi Danilo,
Serbia! Where I went to school about one quarter of the school were from Serbia! I went to school in a very multicultural city, Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. I bet you have relatives there somewhere!
You need to get hold of a harpist in your part of the world, to work with you – play your music to you and you can see them play it and talk with you about different options…that would be the best solution.
But it
I agree with the above, but would add something that helped me getting back into shape after a break. I did lots of slow practise on basic exercises, and although I played slow, I brought the fingers in very fast to quicken them up again. I relaxed after each note, and exaggerated the speed of my placing. Lickety split lightening placing, but slow playing. Same with raising, I exaggerated the fall back onto the strings and placed very quick – “splat” onto the string. Chordal exercises, where you play wide chords and fall onto the strings in one block I found useful too. Also quick alternating (flat) chords with lots of wrist action away from the strings.

Diane,
I think this is a fascinating and difficult question and I love that you care enough about your student to

I should return to the topic. I am still looking for the perfect harp bench for myself. I also wanted to ask those who are very petite what kind of bench they use. I have to sit high at about 21″ to be at the correct height at a concert grande. The problem for me is that my feet don’t touch the floor. I’m taught to keep my feet on C and F pedals while I’m playing, and that’s comfortable. The problem is with practice time and in between playing.
“If I leave the goal setting to her, then nothing.”
I was just curious as to whether your student was an adult or a young woman, mostly because I ask myself the same question as to goal setting.
Rosemary –
the harp is a gold Lyon & Healy, but having never seen it I don’t know what the model is.
You are right Leigh. I am new at this and no idea what I was doing. I just wanted to say something about it. Have a parent call me and say they are calling for a harpist and I will send them a free jar.

Hopefully Evangeline doesn’t see my post, but Rosemary has said previously that she didn’t want her bad experience to upset her,
