    Hi, I’m brand new to this site. I got a harp for Christmas from my husband. I have watched lots of your videos and signed up for the video clubs. You are an inspirational teacher and I am so keen to progress. I have learned to play After the rain, What Child is this and I am working on Sally Gardens.

      Hi Jewelyn, lovely to hear from you! I’m sure your teacher is great and will help you develop a very strong technique 😃 If you would like to benefit from my teaching as well as your current teacher, some harp students find it very helpful to use my video courses as practice guides, alongside lessons with a teacher. My courses are very different to what a teacher does in a lesson - it’s more like I’m helping you through your practice, to make sure you practice really effectively. Perhaps you could try it out with one of my courses that is right for your level at the moment, and mention it to your teacher so they can help you decide if this is something that benefits you alongside your lessons ❤️

    While watching "You raise me up", at the transition between the introduction and the first verse, I thought "what a shame the rhythmical chords ended just like that!" - and then I thought, this would be a great duet for two harps, if one harp continued with the chords. Do you think you could arrange the piece for two harps like that?

    Loch Lomond is a familiar tune also here in Germany.
    Recently, I have learned that the melody is even well-known as the anthem of a local soccer club in the western area of the country called "1. FC Köln":
