  1. The #soul search and artistic exploration of a #Harpist in a Landscape, with the desire to locate Beauty and the fantastically Weird, go beyond sound and the mystical stringed instrument. / I am with #VirginaWoolf : 'I want to write a novel about silence. The things people don’t say.'

  2. Today I got to introduce my harp teacher to Final Fantasy harp covers on Youtube.

    One day I'd love to play them, but they're way beyond my playing ability, let alone I don't have a pedal harp (pedal harps are very expensive) 🤣. #harp #harpist

  3. First harp lesson for the year is this morning, and I'm supposed to play my teacher a piece that is performance ready.

    I thought I had an extra week, as it usually starts the second week of school term, so year the piece isn't performance ready yet 😬

  4. Am super excited, there's going to be a harp concert in Dunedin on the 23rd of March with Úna Ní Fhlannagáin.

    And just as exciting, I'm signing up for a harp workshop with her 🤩

    Tempo Canons (for unspecified quartet)

    This piece is a set of five canons, played back-to-back: all four parts play (almost) the exact same thing, but starting at different times and at different pitches. And most interestingly: different tempos.

  7. Happy to share that I’ve just been notified that two of my albums, "Medievalisms" and "Japanese Sea Musics", are now also available on the French version of Apple Music! 😊 (Hopefully, my first album, "HomeStrung" will also be added soon.)

  9. We're listening to #IrishSongsAndMelodiesOfThomasMoore by #CharlesKennedy c. 1963.

    Think it was #SimonChadwick, #Harpist, who wrote something like, " It almost seems that it was necessary for the original traditional artform to die out before it could be subsumed into the western classical genre and become respectable". Though I think I've added a jagged edge of two of my own to what I've written.

    #PerformancePractices would likely not have been retained.

  11. New musical terms I learnt today in my harp lesson:

    frapper la table
    sur la table
    un peu plus lent
    son xylo
    retenu
    al segno

  12. @mcmullin yeah, we need a #harpist in here. That's the problem in general with musicians, they spend so much time on that prosthetic, they induce it to do all sorts of evil and/or magical things. Then along comes a stone-deaf Beethoven who says y'know, violins, if you do this this and this it would sound really really cool, I just know it…

  14. Question for any #harpist out there: how do you interpret slurs in a #harp part?

    For example, if you see a melody or arpeggio spanning a few octaves in a bar or two, and it's obviously one single gesture, do you play it differently if it's under a slur than if it isn't? Which do you prefer to see?

    I've noticed I'm not at all consistent about this in my scoring, which makes it look like I want different things when that's not necessarily so.

  20. My first piece for my harp teachers 6 week harp challenge.

    The piece is called Early Waltz by Pamela Bruner.

    I’ve been learning the harp for a year with my teacher and this is the first piece I learnt with her. #harp #harpist

  21. Am so excited, I just signed up for a Breton Music Harp zoom workshop in November with folk harpist Kevin Le Pennec.

    My teacher says I should be fine keeping up.

  22. Had a great harp lesson this morning, apparently I'm doing quite well learning the harmonics technique, it helps that I have lots of fat padding on my thumb and fingers 😆

    And over the coming weeks I get to learn seven new harp techniques. We're going go to learn one each week, I'm looking forward to using my harp as a percussion instrument 🤩 #harpist

  23. I started learning harmonics on the harp today, I think they'll take a lot of practice to get the technique right, but they're fun though.

    Also thanks to the higher string tension and the lowest octave of the harp now being strung metal, my fingers on my left hand are sore. I need to grow stronger calluses 😬 #harp #harpist

  24. I got given four new pieces of work to help learn this. Am excited to learn them as they're Baroque and also Scottish folk tunes. #harp #harpist

  25. My new main thing to work on over the next month is to learn the bottom octave on my harp along with reading the sheet music that low in the bass cleft. #harp #harpist

  26. Just had a great lesson with my new harp. Amelia Earharp needs to be regulated by a harp technician.

    They usually come to Dunedin once a year, and luckily he was in my teacher's home today fixing another student's pedal harp, so she's going to pass on my details to him, so he knows I'm on his list. #harp #harpist
