I love this it frames mistakes and things we don't like positively as opportunities to work. Also I am guilty of noticing my fingers and arms but not being mindful about how the rest of my body or even mind factors into things. Thanks Samantha.
@@SamanthaBallardHarpStudioThat's brilliant I love that. Need a motivational Samantha app that plays out encouraging statements every time I sit at the harp.
This is a great video. I have a problem with tension in my back. It is so frustrating. And I can’t figure out what is causing it. I try every day to figure it out.
Sorry to hear about the tension in your back, Sharon! Without knowing much else about your situation, normally I would suggest starting with the chair or bench you sit on and making sure it's the right height for you, and that it's not too soft or leaning back. Then I'd make sure that when you sit on the chair without the harp, there's no tension yet. If so, then when you bring the harp back trying to maintain the posture you set up before bringing the harp to you. If it's been going on a long time and/or it's causing pain, it might also be worth consulting a doctor or physiotherapist!
Such a well-spoken woman! You do such a giid job at breaking things down. Thank you!

It's important to remember that mistakes aren't something that happens when we fail to learn - they ARE learning. :)

Is the PDF handout for more tips in your studio link, by chance?
Totally forgot to put the link in the video description but it's there now!
