This is the ideal opportunity to not only escape with your harp to soak up some sunshine, but also to pep up your mood and your harp playing when they likely need it most. Find out more about the Harp Mastery® Retreat.

Repetition in Your Practice: Are You Doing Too Much? - PHH 163
Просмотров 327 часов назад
In my family, my grandmother’s sister was pretty much our favorite aunt. Aunt Dolie was sweet and generous, although she never had very much of her own and worked very hard all her life for what she did have. She was a gentle soul and totally without worldly savvy. She lacked a lot of practical knowledge, what we would call “know-how,” But that didn’t mean she was without courage. Hence, this f...

String Strategies for Summertime or Anytime - PHH 161

They say that only two things in life are certain, death and taxes. But if you’re a harpist you know there is a third certainty; at some point, often at the wrong point, you’re going to break a string. I remember one performance with my flutist friend Joan when one of my high strings broke as I played it at the end of a glissando near the end of the piece we were playing. When we had finished t...
The Other Side of Harp Playing: How to Develop Your Musicianship - PHH 160

Maybe you’ve noticed or maybe you haven’t, but these podcasts are organized into three different categories. One category is “Practice and Performing” and another is “Music and Meaning.” The third category is “Technique and Musicianship.” Technique is one of those self-explanatory items, but musicianship probably needs a little more description. A common dictionary definition of musicianship is...
Could You Learn a Piece in a Day? - PHH 159
Просмотров 37 часов назад
At one of our Harp Mastery® retreats several years ago. I presented a workshop called “Learn Anything Fast.” That sounds like a pretty ambitious topic, and I imagine that some of the retreaters were a little skeptical. After all, learning a piece of music takes time. But my point in that workshop was this: does it have to take as much time as it’s taking you now? There’s no golden rule about ho...
Memorization Basics: How to Make It Stick - PHH 158
7 часов назад
In a world of sticky notes, Gorilla Glue and tape that can hold a leaky boat together, why can’t we make a piece of music stick in our fingers? Does this sound familiar? We sit down at the harp on Monday with fresh spirit and energy and we dig into the music we want to learn. Tuesday we repeat the process, feeling very virtuous. On Wednesday, we are a little disappointed that we don’t see any p...
10 Tips for Terrific Thumbs - PHH 157
Просмотров 37 часов назад
I was going through some old music the other day and came across a notation that made me smile. It was written in my best elementary school cursive script and read, “Thumbelina’s having trouble with her thumb.” I don’t even remember what piece of music it was on, but it could have been on just about any one. I always had trouble with my thumbs. In fact, most of my music has the words “Thumbs up...

Please could send me your pdf of scales. Thank you
Lately i feel like am zoneing out😮
*Magnífico!*🙏👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤
Beautiful.
When i was s child i always said this the angels instrument 😊
I’m a beginner and I thank you! ❤
Far to slow.
Quite!
Que maravilla!!!
Beautiful!❤
This is nice!!! It sounds familiar, I think I learned to play this on the flute. It sounds lovely on the harp, though!!
The better teacher. Thank you for helping us. God bless you
Hi, I love your transcription! Could you let me know if there’s a way to purchase this sheet music?
A word about the historic instrument she is playing on: It is one of the original Salzedo models, that belonged to Florence Wightman, who was called by Lucile Lawrence as "the best one of us." Florence spent many years playing her own solo recital programs on the radio, and in opera orchestras in New York, Chicago, Montreal and Bogota.
Weren't the Salzado models by Lyon Healy?
This is perfect! im going to start asap. also do you have any recommendations for an affordable harp? i have a lab harp 22 string but i want to upgrade to a harpsickle with levers or a regular full size but theyre all really expensive. if not no worries thank so much. you got my sub.
I'm so glad you like the video, and thanks for the sub.😀 The general rule for harps is to buy as many strings as you can afford. The more strings - the more music you can play. Also, levers are important to have!
@@HarpMastery what do you think of the tulip 40, ive been thinking of buying it since its affordable
Bem suave
So rewarding! very good for my almost 71 year old brain. I need to not move my hands. Very stimulating, satisfying, and actually rather meditative! I would certainly love to join your full program, but being a pensioner on a tiny budget this is the option open for me. I'm very grateful that you make this available. Thank you Anne
I'm so glad you find these warm-ups helpful, Susanne!
Really appreciate this Anne! I can tell I desperately need exactly this I managed the C F and G with inversions just fine but the others just messed with my entire comprehension. Again your hints, such as putting 4 down to check hands, are invaluable. Greatly appreciated. I'll keep working on these.
Thank you. This was incredibly helpful! I'm returning to harp after an almost 5 year break (burnt out because I tried to go way beyond my then skill level). Anyhow, I've been playing for three months (I began 11 years ago and had two excellent teachers for my foundation) and revisiting all the good basic stuff (Paret and Schlomovitz and, and, and...) and learning things which that over-reach taught me to be aware of and now I have the brain space and time to allow it all to reestablish, develop and take root. This was a very soothing, yet loaded with practical whys and wherefores practice.
You are so welcome, Susanne. I'm excited for your return to the harp - keep me posted!
@@HarpMastery thank you Anne, I will.
Thanks, Anne. Looking forward to it! 💖🙂👒🫖
Outstanding tip you shared here - thanks, Anne. When I got permission from your podcast a few weeks ago to do my “first sight” playthroughs for a *whole week* before digging in and practising, it made a big difference for me. I still worry a bit about imprinting bad habits - maybe you can chat about that briefly in the Intensive? (It doesn’t seem to be the case, so I guess I should just let that notion go.) See you there! 🌱 ~ Rebecca
I am signed up. I really need this and am looking forward to it!
I'm so glad! I will look forward to seeing you on the calls!
I never knew how trills worked. I thought they were done with one hand and couldn't figure out how to gain the speed with one hand.
Sometimes trills are done with one hand, Cheryl. As you guessed, they're a lot harder!
Brain twister
Indeed!
Hope to do this intensive some time. The week of the intensive I am watching my grandchildren while my son & daughter -in-law take a trip.
I haven't ever re-run one of these Intensives, Connie, so this is your best chance to get this material. Even if you can't participate live, you will still have access to all the materials through March 31st an everything is downloadable, so you can save it to your computer and watch it whenever you want. Have fun with those grandkids!
@@HarpMastery thank you
Looking forward to this intensive!
Thank you for your videos!! You have helped me in learning to play my pieces and, most importantly, with my performances.
You're very welcome, Charlene!
All good
Hey Anne! This is Cody. Great video!
Thanks, Cody!
Your students must really appreciate your teaching Ann. You're looking lovely! I came across a video of you playing harp at The Green Drake at Christmas time. In ?2016 Very nice memory, thank you! Merry
Thank you so much, Merry! I hope you are doing well!
Your students must really appreciate your. teaching skill. Looking lovely Ann!
I’m in; I look forward to it! 😊
How pleasant a teacher you are.
Congrats Connie!
Gorgeous!!! ❤
Beautiful. God bless you
Gorgeous
super helpful thank you!
Hi from Anglesey Wales yes I got in to it ❤😉🤘
I would like to have a go sounds lovely 😊
The memory in the hands and the soul in the mind💕
Love it; thank you Anne!
Right?! Love arpeggios!
Agh! lol 😆
Followed somewhat with one hand
This is gorgeous sounding!
Would love that written out to be able to learn it…7th and all inversions and one after another…? This whole progression?
Eventually this and the other warmups will show up in print form, but for now, we are taking advantage of the extra learning that comes from listening and thinking about the patterns rather than reading them. It's not as simple, certainly, but it's valuable. And with the replay , you can slow it down and watch it as much as you need to get the pattern down.
Thank you, yes I can feel the benefit of that!
@@HarpMasteryand I think I got the concept too 😅. Thank you thank you so much!
Watching replay
Fantastic - do you recommend a particular version of this for the harp or will any piano scored version work?
Any piano version will work, Graham, although it can be nice to have the pedal markings for harp as there are some enharmonics that make the pedaling simpler. There are some nice lever harp versions too.
@@HarpMastery great stuff - any particular pedal harp ones recommended? Cheers! G
