[@marthagauthier9549]

Greetings Anne, I had to write to thank you for your beginner series "For The Birds". I was practicing Swan Serenade and the mourning dove came right outside the window and appeared to be listening to the music! I truly believe she likes the sound of the harp!! Thought you would enjoy hearing about this. Thank you again for your easy teaching style and beautiful compositions. Sincerely, Martha G.

[@organist1982]

Beautiful! And I still think you have the prettiest technique of anyone I've seen! You must've had a very good teacher.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you so much! I did indeed have a wonderful teacher! Katherine Fitch Loza lives right here in Nova Scotia and gave me the gift of tone and technique, she studied with Judy Loman.

Oh, Anne! Thank you! These are lovely and I have been getting discouraged in my harp start. Yes… 2 yrs now? But, simple music in C, color coded notes, and fingering! What more could I ask for… except maybe private lessons to get started. Thank you! I will purchase these! Keep them coming!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

I’m so glad these feel like a nice fit for you ❤
