Yes Cara, harpists need to keep growing the library of practice content, its not a commonly played instrument (which of course is part of its draw) but we really do have limited content/repertoire/practice accessible so its nice to see content creators. I will look into this repertoire as i’m trying to play lengthier pieces, just finished learning Lai et Rotrouenge and will look into this piece here, thankyou for posting back when you did.
..but your English is wonderful! You don’t need to worry about it! Keep up the good work and also wow what an amazing view you have while you practice..
Gosh, my heart stopped for a second, when I saw that you commented my video - I follow you for 2 years or so 😄 And thank you very much for the compliments! About the view: yeah I am pretty lucky to have this view every day, definitely creates a wonderful atmosphere for practicing - the only negative points are the constant temperature changes in the room and the sun for the harp. But besides that, I feel extraordinarily gifted.
@@cara-thebeginnerharpist6974 Oh that’s so cool! Well thank you for following! You’re right also - I think that it’s great to have some more harp content on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for publishing tour Practise process. Also, thank you for the addition of the noted and especially your personal comments. I am an older adult student and love your work ethic and openness to share. You are a harp gem!
Your English is better than many in my country and I live in USA! I started harp Feb 1 2021. I am a musician, playing flute but whew, I’m doing both hands both treble and bass clef and I have to write in the bass line too! And can I just say....WOW! That view! What a great place to practice. You sound terrific. And I wish I sounded like you. Good is all relative to where we are in our skill level right? 🤣
Aw, thank you so much for so many lovely words! And yeah, I am really blessed with having my harp in a "wintergarden" room - it really sets a wonderful practice atmosphere. :) And you play so many flutes, I bet it must be so confusing to switch between them - mad respect! I am still confused with one instrument, haha. (btw, beautiful colourings on your chanel, love them!)
This is totally how it goes practicing a piece of music. Sometimes you think you’re alone I’m how difficult some things are and how long it takes but it’s nice to know it’s like this for everyone! I also listen to the piece and I’m like wish I sounded like that 🤣
@@cara-thebeginnerharpist6974 it’s one of the only pieces I felt I really needed to highlight in bright yellow all of the pedal markings. It’s so worth it though when you get it up to speed!
@@HannahWarren12 I would die without my coloured pedal markings 😂 Especially in this piece, Renies Esquisse or Bachs Prelude in C (my "hardest" pedal pieces yet)
@@HannahWarren12 .... I wanted to start with Guitare after Esquisse....... :D maybe I change my mind haha. But wow, you played so much, are you a professional harpist, if I may ask??
wow, such a great video, thanks for putting it out! Your english is great and the accent in fact is very cute! Don't worry about it a single bit :) I've been playing the harp for almost 6 months, and I can feel the progress on myself more and more, but I still get frustrated sometimes, because I'm already in my 20s and I would love to be on a professional level, but I know it doesn't work that way :D However seeing you getting so good in relatively such a short time (2+ years?) is really giving me a lot of hope. I keep rewatching your videos all the time for that reason, so please keep posting if you can! You're doing great and good luck!
that comment really made my day - thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I am very happy that I motivate you, cause I really know that feeling of being stuck and being your own biggest enemy while practicing. If I can help you in any way with that I am beyond happy! And I will definitley do more videos, you can count on me! ☺️
I actually just used two mobile phones (1x iPhone 10 and 1x "older" OnePlus). I placed both at different angles and just recorded the whole time - from time to time I stopped and restarted the recording, just to be on the safe side 😅
Thank you very much! ☺️ Actually for this specific video I just used two smartphones. The front shots are recorded with an OnePlus 8T and the back shots with an iPhone 11.
i love this!!!! Also.. i didnt even notice ur accent nor that it was a second langauge for u until u mentioned it! Hahaha nice! If i may ask.. how much did ur hsrp cost? I am saving up to buy my own
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment! Sry for the late reply, I was on holidays! I should definitly be a bit more confident about my english skills, thank you very much for the compliment! My harp is a Salvi Daphne Ex and cost about 20k €. Do you already play harp? If not, I would recommend you to start on a big lever harp, because you dont need pedals right away when starting with the instrument. Just using your hands will be stressfull enough haha.
Bonjour, peut être comprenez vous le français. Moi aussi je travaille ce morceau, et je butte sur les mêmes endroits de la partition. Bravo, pour les progrès effectués !
Malheureusement, je ne parle pas français, mais j'espère juste que ce traducteur fonctionne suffisamment bien. Merci pour votre commentaire ! Bonne chance avec ce morceau. Aujourd'hui, je peux le jouer sans aucun problème. :)
I hate being that one guy looking closely to the sheet music. Especially because I dont know this instrument and I know that dynamics and stuff is something you do a When you get comfortable with a piece, but Just a reminder to look for the few accents as well as the dim. And some decresendo signs c: (okay I think 3 comments on one video is already too much I shall stop lol)
Thanks for the info. In the video I also say that I'm not ready to pay attention to the dynamics all the way through, because I'm still busy learning the fingerings (as you can see in the video). I hope that in the next few weeks I will be able to pay more attention to the dynamics. :)

Thank you so much!! I'm a low intermediate harp player and this video helps me a lot 👍
Thankyou from Australia!
Your English is excellent. Very natural.

miss you posting!!🥺
I miss posting too! But I will again at some point, don't worry 😉
Very beautiful.
Keep it up, Cara
“Not confident in English” OMG same. Im making a 6 hour long course on TH-cam and My goodness It is still so cringe to me to hear my English back.
I think the pedal harp sound so beautiful
This is one of my favourite pieces! That middle section with all the pedal changes is killer though. 🥵 Great job!
Thank you very much! Yeah that section really triggered me a lot 😂 It took me a while to "nail" it.

This is fascinating! Great to see your practice method. How often do you have lessons with your instructor?
Thank you!
I have lessons 1x per week a 45mins.
What do you use to film long video like this? A camera?
I always love that Salvi Daphne 😆
I am saving up for my own pedal harp

May I ask you what kind of mics and video camera you use? It sounds and looks super good :)
Thx

Thank you - I love watching practice videos. What a beautiful piece... and those windows and that view!!!
How long have you been playing?
When I shot the video nearly 3 years. ☺️
