Harp Lesson | SHENANDOAH | Anne Crosby Gaudet

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

I remember what it felt like to be mystified by levers! Especially changing them in the middle of a song! I hope this arrangement gives you a friendly opportunity to try out this technique! Have fun!

I love your calm way to schow and play....very nice....sehr schön. Greetings from Germany🌷

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you very much!

[@michelleaskeland8658]

Very nicely done! Just watching you play helps me to be mindful of performing with artful motion since graceful motion adds so much when playing harp, making it visually pleasing as well.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you Michelle, for me the movement is breath and phrasing.

[@heidihorner6955]

I just love this tune! What a great arrangement-thank you for making it so accessible for beginners! Beautiful!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you, Heidi!

A lovely arrangement, Anne, and you play it with such feeling and so soothingly. Since I am a harpteacher myself I find it very interesting and inspiring to watch other teachers. I really like your calm yet precice explanations and the way you encourage all the way through your lesson. Most of all I enjoy that you do not only show and describe the technical aspects of the piece but also the musical background, in this case the reason for the fs and f#s. That little glimpse into music theory really makes one feel confident and I find it very exciting to get a look "beyond the curtain". Thank you for not just sharing your music but also for sharing your teaching talents! Greetings, Theresa

birdwood P Sounds like success! Keep going 🎶💕

[@jeanninevermette933]

Very musical performance ! Thanks!

[@Meltiqueful]

Another very beautiful arrangement, Anne! And thanks for the tips about raising levers; this is a great piece for practicing that. I also love how you combined the Mixolydian mode and the key of G Major!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Amelia Gerlach The first piece I played with lever changes was so hard that I totally missed that they could be fun instead of stressful!

[@Meltiqueful]

@@annecrosbygaudetmusic I'm looking forward to feeling that way too!

[@carpenanne]

Wow Anne, thats amazing that you arranged this song...i was going to suggest this one to you last Friday. Great tutorial too!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Wow nice! Thanks for watching, Anne!

[@BarbRiedel]

I enjoy your harp lessons. What model of harp are you using?

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the mini lesson. I play a dusty strings FH 36S in Walnut.

[@Tinykniter]

Beautiful arrangement with your teachable moment! Does that go a bit too low for a Harpsicle?

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Linda Browning Thanks Linda! Yes, this one really needs those low Gs. I’ve got some small harp pieces coming soon!

[@Tinykniter]

Thanks, Anne! I think I need to get a larger harp one day soon too 😊

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Linda Browning You will love it!

[@qltygrl3187]

I was wondering the same thing! I just purchased a fullsicle to start with.
