Try Tat Stanley at harpist@kingston.net .
My name is Ana. I’m a spanish girl who would like to find the sheet music for theme to The Princess Bride to be played in my wedding. I’m getting married on 21st February and I have not found yet. There are some webs to buy this kind of things but even the sheet music book Screenplaying is not available. Moreover, I think this book includes the sheet music of the version performed by Willy Deville. Maybe musicians can adapt this theme in a instrumental version. If anyone can help me, please contact with me by e.mail to sinsentido13@hotmail.com or fax a copy to 0034 963 40 20 14 if it’s possible.

Dear Michelle,
Learning the harp is actually quite fun! It doesn’t take very long to become proficient. As opposed to violin and piano, it will not take you 10 years of harp playing to perfect tone and technique. 4 or 5 years tops and you should be pretty d a r n proficient, and ready to start the heavy-duty professional pieces. But, of course, not without the help of a good instructor, self-discipline, and your passion for the harp. As for a good NJ teacher, I cannot help you there- I live in Utah.Thank you all very much for your advice!! It’s quite encouraging. I think I am interested in starting to learn the harp now, at least to see if it is for me. I think it looks like fun too. A teacher who lives pretty close to me has contacted me and given me a list of things to purchase before I can take a lesson from her. If I go to her once a week and practice each day, I think it could be very enjoyable. Thanks again.
if you are interested in competing internationally, many competitions such as lily laskine (in france) have junior divisions. a good resource for this is the world harp congress’journal. also look for local competitions, for instance: concerto competions with youth orchestras, music society competitions, etc. good luck!
salzedo published eight short pieces together as “suite of 8 dances”
the version in the waddington (suzuki) book may be edited, either way there are other pieces worth checking out, tango, etc
also the rumba is somewhat similar to seguidilla, but more challenging
have fun!
I recently bought a chinese harp, Gu Zheng, and am taking lessons right now. The one I bought is for competition level.
