[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Come have a harp lesson with me and start learning "Sweet Blessings"! If you are quite new to the harp, this is a good tutorial for you! Here are the time stamps if you want to quickly navigate to a particular element: 1. Discover the structure of the piece and mark the sections 1:02 2. Practice left hand 1-5 patterns with the metronome 5:14 3. Learn the A section melody by rote 10:23 Remember to watch the performance video too (beautiful sunset at the lake). kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX_Oon1upb-tZsU

Excellent teaching! Thanks!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thank you very much, I appreciate that!

Mini lessons are the best, please do more of this kind of teaching. Your pieces becomes more valuable through these kind of lessons. Often I only need hints for the more difficult parts of a piece.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thanks for the feedback, I am quite enjoying making these video lessons!

[@Paula-133]

Thank You so much for providing so many beautiful pieces for beginners.I just bought the lovely piece. I really need to know where to start when learning. So this helps so much!

Hi Anne! This is Rebecca Rose Adams. (I'm a writer, and "Apple" Adams is a pen name I sometimes work under.) I wanted to thank you times a million for this video lesson! This has given me a fantastic start on "Sweet Blessings." I'm sure I'll watch it several times, and I'll be practicing hard! I'm so happy to be back harping, and that I have such an excellent teacher. Thanks again!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Always enjoy watching these lessons, even if I am not yet this advanced. Thank you! ❤

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Oh you'll be ready to do this one soon!

[@bonnieanne5483]

Hi Anne! I so appreciate your patient, easy way! Thank you! As a beginner without a local teacher, I also appreciate your guidance re finger placing, hand position etc. Now onwards to trying to navigate putting it together! 😳

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

You're welcome! I'm so glad I have started offering long form courses so I can support learning every step of the way! Best wishes!

[@rebeccaroseadams8694]

Your composition and you are "sweet blessings!" "Musical thought"...I love that. I think this tutorial is wonderful. I haven't started this song yet, but you have still taught concepts here that I'm still trying to integrate in what I am working on now. :-)

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Oh yes, even just doing that little section on left hand 1-5 patterns would be a great little exercise for you. Thanks for the sweet comment!

This is an awesome lesson and hidden is where I need work so I can take my metronome out of hiding.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

The metronome is a powerful little friend!

[@MireilleSchiffelers-c6s]

Thank you for this beautiful piece. I am practicing in small bits with your guidance!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Good for you! I have this one my list to turn into a full course. But you're making such quick progress you likely won't even need it!

[@connieennis6556]

Thank you. I am excited to learn this piece.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Wonderful! Good luck!

[@qltygrl3187]

I’m working on this song so your video will really help! Thanks so much for the tutorial and wonderful music!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Wonderful! Glad to hear the tutorial was helpful!

[@amydallmann-jones9666]

Very helpful! I love the way you teach! :)

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thanks Amy! Are you learning Sweet Blessing now?

[@amydallmann-jones9666]

@@annecrosbygaudetmusic It is going to be my next piece to learn! :)

[@jeanninevermette933]

Very informative! Will u be doing one for the more advances version?

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Thanks Jeannine! Do you mean a tutorial for the G Major version? I was thinking about doing a peek at playing it on 19 strings or double strung.

[@jeanninevermette933]

Your tutorials are so helpful so why not do the G major arrangement!

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

LOL I just might do that!

[@alfredguidolin6432]

I am confused. You are playing CG/FC in the introduction, but the notation on the sheet music is GD/CG. I bought the harp music for this piece and want to play it correctly.

[@alfredguidolin6432]

Sorry Anne, I was looking at the 19 string version in the key of G....not the 25 string version. Blame it on Covid mind fog...Rosey Guidolin

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Hi Alfred, remember there are two version in the PDF download. You must be playing the 19 string arrangement.

[@annecrosbygaudetmusic]

Oh, I just saw your second note. You figured it out!
