ParticipantI was 13 when I started playing Irish harp, but I had already been playing piano and violin since about 7, and picked it up really easily.

ParticipantHi all.

ParticipantMy father plays the Paraguayan folk harp, so I started learning that at the age of 3. I continued playing by ear until the age of 12, and then in high school I began the pedal harp. Interesting question!
unknown-user
ParticipantNo,you are not crazy for wanting to play the harp at age 48.

ParticipantMy response would be that L&H is best.

ParticipantI’m 12 and when I was 7 I started on the lever harp. When I was 9, my parents bought me a Lyon and Healy Prelude and 3 months ago I got a Lyon and Healy Model 85 Concert Grand (we kept the Prelude because my sisters plays). Overall, I like pedal harps best.

ParticipantHave you played Salzedo’s Suite of 8 Pieces for Harp? I love Passacaille by Handel!!
unknown-user
ParticipantSorry, I meant Suite of 8 Dances, I like Bolero.

ParticipantI’m 12 and I got a Lyon and Healy Prelude 3 years ago. About 3 three months ago I got a Lyon and Healy Model 85 Concert Grand and I am ssooo happy! When you upgrade, just make sure that you can handle a pedal harp. It shouldn’t be too heavy for you.

ParticipantI’m only 12, but I get $50 an hour for backround music and $100 an hour for weddings.

ParticipantYou can find a list of difficulty rated harp pieces done by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Harp Exam Music on the morley harp website
http://www.morleyharps.com/exams.html
There are also graded lists of pieces in the Federation of Music Educators handbooks.
Although these lists are good, I’m sure that recommendations from teachers are more valuable.
