Keep Calm and Play Harp - Ami N.
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2022
Welcome to my channel! My name is Ami. I'm in love with the sound (and look) of the harp and hope to create melodies with such a beautiful sound. I love the expressive folk music, classical music, pop music, and even OST from games and anime on the harp. I'm playing for my own enjoyment and maybe in front of friends and family, but I don't think I would perform in an event or become a professional harpist. Nevertheless, I would try my best to become good.
I was inspired by other harp learning progress videos and decided to create a channel to document and share my own journey. I hope this channel would also inspire other people like myself; so that we who love instruments in general will become better together!

It has been exactly 1 year since the first day I learned to play the harp. (1 year harp progress video is coming soon!) Yes, this is such a sad tune for 1-year anniversary, but it's also one of my favorite. I'm happy that I can play it now!

TH-cam recommended a video of a harpist playing this piece on her harp and it was the first time I had ever known such an instrument existed. Believe it or not, before then I thought harp was only played by angels in heaven. That video is also what made me decided to learn the harp and I finally felt that I could try the tune after 6 months of harp learning. Harp played in this video: Lyon & He...

This is so inspiring for me. One day I had no thought of the harp and the next I purchased one. 😮 This music is so calming. Thank you for sharing ❤ Brilliant!
wow! such great progress!
I have the same harp ❤ I love it ! It sounds so beautiful
You play with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful 🎶❤️✨
This is heaven on earth. Thank you so much for sharing 💛👏
Absolutely amazing, Ami. 👏 Great how confidently you operate the levers and play flawlessly at the same time. Great video recording as well! I wish you continued joy and love harp music very much too. 💛 Thank you so much for sharing.
Great progress! Thank you for posting. Do you think Lyon and Healy will add 2 more levers on the 39 and 40th string in the future, or they won't because they are too out of the reach of the left hand?
I don't think they will. It's very rare that you need to change the levers of those 2 strings during a song.
Very Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your excellent progress. I am motivated!
Well done you! You have done so well from 0 to mazing in such a short time.
AMAZING!!
Such an amazing job in one year! And really inspirational. I play some other string instruments (all self taught) and have been wanting to learn harp for years, but it's SO intimidating. This really helps me take that jump to just do it!
Did you know how to read music before playing?
Sorry for the late reply, but the answer is a soft Yes. I was introduced to piano at 12 years old and played some level 1 beginner pieces for less than a year, but life happened and I didn't play music after that, so I had to start over with the harp and learned music theory again. The book I used is Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp by Sylvia Woods.
Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your progress!
A wonderful recording! Very well played! I like it very much! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Germany! 👍
I really would love to find this sheet music! ❤😢
The piano sheet music can be find easily online. I got it from MuseScore.
I wanna learn this tune, too. ❤😊 Beautiful! Brava!
J.S. Bach? More like "Just amazing; I'm in shock!" 👍
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Sublimely beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful and serene. I love the steady pace of this piece, and your graceful playing ❤
So beautiful & inspiring ❤🎶
So beautiful! I love this song; it is one of my favourites. You play it brilliantly, at a lovely pace. Where did you find the sheet music? I would love to learn this. I am happy to discover your music channel. I also enjoy playing Anne Crosby Gaudet’s music and am mostly self taught too. It is a joy to improvise - have you explored this? Harp waves to you 🎶✨
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I usually look for piano sheet music from MuseScore, then make some adjustments to adapt to the lever harp when needed. I haven't tried improvising yet, I don't think I'm very creative 😅.
wow this is really beautiful, such lovely playing and really nice video too 🎼 🙏 💙 🙏 👏👏👏
This is so amazing! Excellent work in capturing the feel
Wow! I am astonished! You did a great job, indeed! My truly compliments! ❤I wish I could exercise every day, to get better like you. I also use the Sylvia Wood arrangements, and I follow also the same channels. The difficult is also to understand and translate from english, since I am italian. But anyway, wow, you are great!
Ciao, leggo il tuo commento e sono italiana anch'io, studio l'arpa da qualche tempo e se vuoi possiamo tenerci in contatto anche per le tue esigenze di traduzioni 😊
I am also learnig this piece, but you are way better than me! After many months I am still struggling on putting the fourth finger with the left hand. I don't know how to improve the "elasticity" of my fingers.😢😮💨
Woooow❤❤❤❤❤ where could I find the sheet? I'd love to learn this tune!
I saw you also asked about the sheet music of the other Inuyasha OST. For both of them, and most of the soundtracks I covered, I used piano sheets found on MuseScore (I think you can download for free) and adapted for the lever harp.
@@keepcalmandplayharp oh, I understand. It looks difficult... I am just a beginner, I am not able to make arrangements. 😞 Would you consider to sell yours?
@@vehrkalia I didn't make any change to this tune so you can just use the piano sheet. And all I did to the To Love's End is maybe bringing some parts up or down an octave when I feel the left and right hands overlap. Sorry I didn't write the adjustment down so I can't sell it , but I'm a beginner also and I didn't really do much.
@@vehrkalia This video helped me a lot: th-cam.com/video/eVlRR87t8kw/w-d-xo.html
@@keepcalmandplayharp oh, thank you. This is inspiring to me! Even if you are at a higher level than me, if you are still a beginner, maybe I can play directly the piano version on harp. Thank you! I am very impressed that you are so good in less than a year. Are you studying alone or with a teacher? Or maybe following some of the great harpist teacher here on YT? 😊
Such a beautiful melody! And you are great
Glad you like it!
It's very beautiful. I have it on loop for a bit.
Woooow amazing i like iitt😲😲👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🩷🩷
Lyrics: Cast away your worries, my dear For tomorrow comes a new day Hold to me, you've nothing to fear For your dreams are not far away As you lay your head and you rest May your dreams take over my love Listen close, my son of the west For your destiny lies above Though the world is cruel There's a light that still shines In the darkest days of our lives When all hope seems lost And you can't find your way Think of me as you look to the sky Child mine, your future is bright For your father's blood's in your veins In dark times, I pray you will fight For the world will soon know your name
Wow! Awesome! I didn't know there was a lyric!
Absolutely Beautiful 💙
so wunderbar ,liebevoll und auch traurig ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🎶
whenever you zigzag across the whole range it kinda takes me out of it, but the rest is very peaceful and calming.
Hermoso ❤🎉🎉
Bellissimo, dove potrei vedere la musica, sheet music for harp? Thank y
The link to the sheet music has been added to description. Thank you for listening!
This Masterpiece is PERFECT for my favorite Novel 📖 THE SECRET GARDEN 💕💞💓

So calm ❤
Beautiful! Thank you so much. ❤ Is the harp a L&H Ogden or a Drake?
Thanks for listening. It's a L&H Ogden.
@@keepcalmandplayharp I love the Ogden, such a beautiful sound! Please, tell me where I can find this sheet, I wish so much to learn this tune! I love InuYasha's OST! <3
خيااااااااال 😍
ذوق رائع
Ssooooooooo beautiful! 😍😍😍
我的狗狗听着听着就睡着了❤
lovely
I remember seeing that episode. It just absolutely broke my heart! I just cried. Poor little guy!!😭💔
Nice! Do you feel like when you play songs, when you're kinda dealing with something, that it helps you calm down? I wonder cuz of your channel name. One more question: is your harp lever or pedal?
Thank you for listening! To answer your first question, yes, I'm dealing with my daily stressful life like everyone else, and found that playing the harp would help me relax and calm me down. I'm playing for my own enjoyment so I play only the songs that speak to me. My harp is a lever harp, a Lyon and Healy Prelude 40.
@@keepcalmandplayharp Cool! I kinda went through that today myself, having to play my little 19-stringer lever harp and try to get myself on an even keel. I played the slower, more melancholy songs first, and although I was a little shaky at first, towards the end - when I was playing happier songs - I felt more in control and it flowed more smoothly (not perfect, mind you!). It's kinda like doing harp therapy on yourself!🙂
❤❤
Hola, te saludo desde España, es un deleite escucharte tocar la harpa.
Speechless...
Steady hands and good technique! It is such a pleasure to watch you playing this beautiful song!
