Hi there.. I have just seen your posting for the want of a harp teacher. I don’t know if you are still searching, but I thought I’d toss you my name just incase you were still looking. My name is Alyssa Michalsky and I am a professional harpist and teacher in Toronto. I specialize in adult students and teach a variety of styles from classical, pop, jazz, and improvization. If you are still looking for a teacher and wish to know more information, please do not hesitate to email me at harpangel@rogers.com. Thanks and good luck!
Alyssa
I don’t know if you get these harps in the U.S., but here in Germany and
Austria one gets so called “Volksharps” which are about the size of a Salvi
Daphne 46, but you can only put the pedals down once, instead of twice. I
started off with one of these harps, and it served me well until this summer,
when I traded it (plus costs) for a Salvi Aurora.and not on my harp either! yikes…imagine a chinese wok frying pan!…lol the
poor strings…
oh I just thought of this modern piece I had composed for me where I use little
keychain rings in a glissando…oh that was a cool piece…*digs out music*Well, it depends on where you live and what yor budget is. If youre confident that your child would be really passionate about the harp and not quit, i would recommened renting a troubadour V. It is a superb harp for both students and performers. http://www.lyonhealy.com/products/lyonhealy/lever/troubadour.html copy and paste that into the URL box and click eneter to see the troubadour harp
the only probelem is, its a little pricey, $3,750. When I bought my Troubador about 3 years ago it was $3,450. but, they’re definetely worth it!
however, if you have doubts as to whether she’ll stick with it, i would suggest buying a pakastani harp. They are extremely affordable, but their quality is very low. i learned on a 22 string Heather harp, which costed about $200 at the time. Now i think they run for about $350. you can see them at http://www.harpanddragon.com . with this cheap harp, your daughter can figure out whether she wants to stick with it. i learned on that harp for about a year until i moved up to a troubadour, and in April of 2003, i moved up to a Salvi CG pedla harp. *yay*
so………………………..
it would be a wise choice to try out a pakastani harp. I KNOW everybody is going ot say “avoid them avoid them”, and if youre a performing proffesional, you defienetly should. howevre, i think one of those harps would be very appropraite for a begginning harpist.
i applaud your daughter’s intrest! (as well as yours!) good luck with whatever harp you choose!
