    What a treat. I got home from grocery shopping and errands to find this waiting for me. The stress has faded away and I feel relaxed and ready to play my own music. Thank you.

      Thanks so much Leanna. I think that's my favourite compliment I've received. It's a pleasure to help people unwind and relax. I hope you have a great rest of the weekend.

      @@leannamanuel1118 Yes! My family asked if I'll be bringing the harp for Christmas so I'm planning on some extra practice (hopefully good enough to post). I've really been loving Anne Crosby's Carol of the Bells, Silver Bells and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I'm always looking for recommendations though!

    What a beautiful song and beautifully played. It sounds so crisp and clear on your harp, if I may ask what type and make it is.
    Thank you Derek for sharing your wonderfully developing harping!

    Really lovely, Derek. Thank you so much for keeping the entire video on your playing too. It gives beginners like myself (who can't read music) a chance to watch and see what your hands are doing as I try to learn by ear! 😊👏

      Of course! You likely already know this but if you click the gears icon on the video options you can choose to slow down the video. When someone told me that it helped me so much to learn from ear because some of the pieces are much faster than I can read. I hope you learn to play this one!

    I love this piece so thank you for sharing the background on it. Is this a tune in Christy Lynne’s playlist of tunes? You are playing so well you don’t sound like a beginner.👍🤗

    • @derekharpson
      @derekharpson  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Linda! So this tune is actually written by Kim Robertson so Christy Lyn doesn't have an arrangement of it. Although I'd say this is an early intermediate piece. I guess I'm officially not a beginner (even though I feel like one sometimes) :)
