Ep 4: You’re Never Too Old to Start the Harp | How To Harp Podcast

Описание: Heather shares this month’s harp tip with a reassuring reminder that you’re never too old to begin your harp journey. Drawing on her own experience of starting ‘late’ as a teenager, she reflects on the challenges, the self-doubt, and the turning points that helped her grow into a professional harpist.

This episode is all about encouragement for adult learners, and a reminder that determination and being true to yourself can take you further than you think. To finish, Heather shares three beginner-friendly harp classics to inspire you with what’s possible when you’re just starting out.

In this episode:
Am I too old to start learning the harp?
Heather’s personal story of starting the harp at 14
How determination and staying true to yourself can change your learning
Encouragement for adult learners facing self-doubt
