Learning to Play the Double-Strung Harp, Part 2

Описание: In this second Prime Time Harpist installment of my double-strung harp journey, I share a very honest look at the second half of my first week with the instrument. We'll tackle new challenges like mastering hand position and eye focus, particularly when dealing with higher strings, as I stumble through learning "Home on the Range," "Taps," and "Silent Night." I also reflect on the importance of returning to the basics and share a few lessons from Heather Downie's Post-Beginner course. This video is for every adult who has faced challenges on their musical journey, and I invite you to share your own experiences in the comments below!
