 The study of harp is a wonderful experience for those who choose it. Yes, one must be prepared to transport a rather unwieldy instrument, but the advantages often outweigh the inconvenience.
Harp music is very similar to piano music, and a couple of years of piano lessons are required before one begins harp lessons.
The pitches on the harp are distinguished by the color of the various strings.
Small harps are available for small students as they begin.
A good harpist can often “write his own ticket” for professional engagements, since harpists are rather few in number.
There is a wonderful fellowship among harpists (they all seem to know each other) and harps are generally not difficult to find when an active harpist is contacted for assistance. |
