Thank you Anne for making me feel a musicien at 72 years and for the inspiration you give me to sit down and practice in a structured programme. I do love your very clear canadian english accent. Have a nice Sunday. José
Hello Anne, I have just found your channel and your books. I began with the Suzuki method and almost gave up tonight. Then I found your channel and realized, it's too much, too soon and I wanted to enjoy being a beginner. Then I found your books and now my next few months are planned learning those. Thank you for being there, even when you didn't know you were and stopping me from quitting in despair.
I am in the process of organizing all of the music I have purchased from your Music Discoveries shop (which is a full 3” binder) and categorizing by music type: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, hymns, wedding, dinner music. Then categorizing each of those sections by levels: i.e. beginner, intermediate, etc. This will take me awhile to finalize. However, after listening to “Beauty of the Earth” several times, I am thinking about purchasing the $30 course. I think this song is versatile and could be used at weddings, for dinner music, and of course, a hymn. I am grateful for all of your music that you have created; I feel blessed and inspired to continue on my harp journey with all of your wonderful and beautiful music. I just wish I could ‘clone’ your talent and abilities and embed them into my brain and fingers. That would be so amazing lol. 🙂

This planner seems to be a solution for some of us who are floundering in the area of disorganized practices. For my purposes, identifying the stages of learning gave guidelines to assess where I am within each piece. This will also help to spot weakness in my practice routine, and implement realistic goals. Thanks for the structure- much appreciated!
Thank you so much for another useful tool, Anne! I love your channel, your music, and your resources. Thank you again for your creative approach to teaching!
Alot of sound wisdom here Anne. Im going to use this for the next three weeks, Ill let you know how I get on 🙂. Sometimes not knowing the stage of development a piece is in can be discouraging and immobilizing. Im going to revisit pieces that I previously worked on and now feel ready to move forward with. Love these stages of development of learning a piece of music.. so incredibly helpful. Oh I think I will be putting Clair de Lune on my wish list 🙂
@@annecrosbygaudetmusic it is a journey not just in terms of musical skill and development but of understanding ones own longings, desires and learning style…that takes time, trial and error but nothing is wasted. I’m going to view each piece in terms of these three phases of development. It’s genius!
Good day Anne! I like your planner and am going to start using it today! I am working on In The Meadow trio and will dedicate this first week using the planner! So excited about being organized with learning to play my harp! Thanks!🦋
@@annecrosbygaudetmusic Hi Anne! Wanted to thank you for the email you sent out regarding the new lesson For The Beauty of the Earth and explaining we would need another password for this area of the learning website!!! I thought I was creating another account. 😀 Question for you… how long would I have to learn the Beauty of The Earth song? I would like to try this lesson but I know I would need a lot of time. Is it at my own pace? Thanks Anne! 🦋 Victoria
Hi! I tried it again and it brought me to a different screen and I was able to download it! Thanks Anne - what a great tool. You really worked hard on this one! 👏👏👏😍
@@annecrosbygaudetmusic I went and looked again at your video and my eagle eye 👁 noticed a new late intermediate piece?? In this new platform, will we be able to just purchase the sheet music only? You are sneaky Anne, in a good way!! 😜
@@msavard0 LOL yes, I hid a little teaser for Clair de lune in that video 🙂 The way it's going to work is the Shop will still be your home for buying sheet music and the new Podia platform is your home for taking courses. There are a bunch of fancy reasons why I'm keeping them separate. It's like having a house and a cottage!
I love this, so needed! It will definitely help give me the focus I've been desiring in my practice. I don't see Clair de Lune on your website; is that a new piece you just added?
Fantastic! Yes, I find that doing this weekly planner for just 3 weeks really helps with focus and progress. (Clair de lune is coming soon... that was just a little teaser).
Hi Anne: Tried to download from link in You tube video and I tried to use my password for Music Discoveries and it says I don’t have a valid email. I then tried link again and it looks like I need to set up a totally new account? I then went to the regular MD site and got in with my usual email and password. Tried to find the workbook on your regular site but couldn’t find the workbook. Am I doing something wrong! 😃
Hi Mary, you just discovered that Music Discoveries Courses is a new platform, separate from Music Discoveries Shop. So you need a new account to access courses and learning resources. You'll get the hang of it!
Hi Marion, the Practice Planner and courses are on a brand new platform. So you actually need a new account, separate from the Music Discoveries Shop. Just set up a new password when the link asks for your email and you should be good go. The Shop is for sheet music and Podia is for courses.
finally a harp teacher with resources that look accessible and structured enough for people with mouldy brains like me! thank you so much

Well, I’m so delighted that my channel and my website have helped you find your path ❤️ have a wonderful time!
Thanks Anne. This planner will be so helpful. Thanks for all that you do for the harp community!
I'm glad you're finding it helpful! What are you practicing this week, Carol?

Great comment Valerie! When we understand that a piece needs to move through phases we can be kinder to ourselves and enjoy the process.
Thank you so much for another useful tool, Anne! I love your channel, your music, and your resources. Thank you again for your creative approach to teaching!
Thank you so much!
Great Sheet. Thank you Anne. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your practice teaching. Varying the focus is something I never would have thought of,
Great, glad it was helpful!

Keeping the phases in mind is a good way to observe progress without judgement. You have such a great attitude toward long-term learning goals!

Very nice! It won't be long and you'll be adding those three pieces to your Repertoire list!

@@annecrosbygaudetmusic awesome! Looking forward to it!
What Claire de Lune sheet music is available for the lever harp? I cannot find it in Ann's Music Discoveries shop!
It's not there yet... but should be coming along this month! It's so pretty!
