I also am looking for the sheet music (organ/piano) for StoryBook Love from the Princess Bride. I am getting married in three weeks! Please email me at krb161@hotmail.com if you have information I could use. thanks so much!
i shopped around for different prices and more personalities a few months ago. and i
guess it depends on what TYPE of teacher you pick.
the younger more professionally trained ones with a few years teaching experience were
charging $40+ for a half hour.
whereas, the teacher i went with charges me $15 for 45 minutes! not only was it a better
deal, she’s just a nice older woman who does this for fun, so the lessons aren’t as intense!
now, if i was trying to get into college on harp, i’d have opted for the more expensive and
more intense teacher (had to do this route before on bassoon in my past music life). but
this time, i decided it’s going to be with a teacher who teaches because she enjoys it, and
just wants to have everyone experience that with her. while i still learn a LOT and she’s
very skilled at teaching, i think it’s just she’s in a different phase and it’s less intense.
so i say, it varies on the type of person as well.

I am finishing my last season with the Lincoln Youth Symphony in Northern Utah, and I used to also be in the Lake Bonneville Community Symphony, which was in the same area LYS is in.
Dear Evangeline,
I think it depends a lot on the amount of time spent on each lesson, and the teacher’s skill level.
i had an hour lesson every-other-week @ $40/hr (lowered to $20, I got a discount for
being a poor teacher myself).
Hi Lisa – My daughter is 11 and will be attending Interlochen Center for the Arts camp for the third year. She has harp lessons twice a week and supervised practice the other days. The camp is filled with wonderful musicians – and other artists. The web site is Interlochen.org.

Hi Shelley!

katrinaIt’s been several years since I post this. But guess what at this time I’m doing a rent to own program from a place in Clawson,Mi called the Michigan harp Center. And on August 16, 2002 I’ve finally been blessed with a Lyin & Healy style 15 Harp I named Gilligan. That’s almost 2 years ago and lately I’ve Found out that the rent to own contract is about to expired next month. Because the harp also has many defects like the unplesant buzzing sounds, clicking sounds in the pedals and the creaky sounds the the pegs made when I tune the wire strings. I’m afraid that I have no choice but to take him back and get another harp that has no defects in it at all. Kelly tried her best to get the screws tighten in the harp and getting the help she needs that she spent the whole year trying to fix the problem. And your right. There is no such thing as a cheap pedal harp. In fact I’ve been eyeballing the $12,000 Venus Encore harp for a long while. and I think I heard that venus harps are one of the best around am I right? I’ve discovered Venus Harps a long time ago on the internet when I’ve been browsing around for harps and really love their stuff. I guess I better work on putting money away towards that harp. Thanks for all of your input!
Chris, Just as there is a solmisation syllable (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, etc.) for notes of the scale, which are moveable into any key that you are working with, there are Rhythmic Reading syllables so that you can get the math correctly in measures of music. Quarter notes would be verbalized as “one, two, three, four” in a 4/4 measure. Eighth notes in such a measure would be
