In this video, I explain proper harp posture and basic hand position for beginners just starting out on the harp. Whether you’re learning the lever harp or pedal harp, getting your posture and hand technique right from the start will help you play comfortably and avoid tension or injury.

I cover everything from sitting on the stool correctly, finding your harp’s balance point, to the proper way to position your thumb and fingers on the strings. I also explain how to use your left and right hands efficiently and how to quieten the strings after playing.
