You are incredibly skilled at these ornaments! Thank you for demonstrating the various types & slowly teaching how to actually do them. You make it look & sound beautiful & effortless

Thanks Susan, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@iriskemper7989]

So helpful! I come from fiddle music, and I was trying to copy the fiddle ornaments onto the harp, but I couldn´t really figure it out. This video helps a lot :)

[@hanisoomi]

Thanks a million Tiffany! Your video helped me tremendously understanding how to play Rolls on harp :) I have been working on it myself for years but couldn't understand why I can't play it safely. Thank you so much! God bless you for what you've done for the self-taught harpers at home.

[@kathybarnard3909]

Thanks for this video, Tiffany - love your wonderful clarity in explaining these articulations. I'm saving this one for future viewing and practice!

[@kristinasterling815]

Liked hearing about these techniques. I took notes. Not sure of last two which were the cut and thumb choke but it can wait as I am a newbie.

[@NadinaRobusto]

This is so wonderful and inspiring- thank you for sharing!

[@darlenesfiddlin]

Great ornamentation tutorial! Thank you!

[@TheGerfalkon]

Hi Tiffany, thanks for a very useful insight.

[@jacquelinebryant2962]

Tiffany would you consider doing a video (or even just a post) on how you write out your own sheet music? What program you use to make the notation, maybe some tips on notating your own arrangements?

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Hi Jaqueline, I use Musescore to write out my arrangements. It's a free notation program. It takes a little getting used to, but whenever I have a question about it I just google how to do it in musescore, and it usually comes up!

[@samiramemarzadehharp]

Thank you for this video! It is very interesting and well-explained❤

[@carolfallon4305]

Thanks Tiffany, that was really enlightening and will give me plenty to practice on now. I find your tutorials really helpful.

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Glad to hear it! Thanks Carol.

[@henryohare1]

illuminating, thank you

[@jenniferkubina149]

Thank you. The tunes you chose to illustrate each ornament are wonderful. Great examples!

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@margaretlooney2174]

Thanks for the tutorial Tiffany. I am still taking lessons at my local school of music as I'm only a late beginner/ v early intermediate player. I have done some cuts and rolls. Was v interesting to see the other forms of ornamentations. Thank you again.

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Glad you liked it!

[@rondelby2482]

Thanks

[@rosemaryvarga6371]

Great helpful hints. Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@harpdivack]

Great video. A ton of great information, really clearly presented! Thanks for this.

[@glornacara]

Ok, so I haven’t watched yet, as I’m on the go all weekend traveling, but wanted to put it in my history to watch ASAP, as I appreciate all the arranging and embellishing help I can get. 😅 So, THABK YOU for this, Tiffany!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼💚

[@annesmith-melodyinflight4208]

This was so helpful and informative! Thank you!

[@evolenet8039]

Thank you so much for this video! Though I love your tune tutors, I've also missed these technique lessons :-)

[@teresamonastero]

This was just what I needed. Thank you. :)

[@emblamiriam]

I have been wishing for a video like this! Thank you! My favourite ornament is the "turn". I have been wondering what to call it. Now, to practice... :D

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Yay! Technically it's not really a full turn... maybe it could be called a "partial turn..." Lol. Have fun!

[@emblamiriam]

@@tiffanyharpandsong Ah, I see! Thanks for the info 🌺🙏🏻✨🎶

[@charlottebournisien]

Thank you Tiffany about this video! It is very helpful indeed! The thing that is the most difficult for me is adapting the fingering on the spot when adding a new or different ornament to a melody that I’ve already learned a certain way. Some Celtic music experts have told me that one should be able to play the same tune a lot of different ways (that is to say, be able to vary the ornementations on demand). Could you give some tips on practising a tune this way? What would you recommend?

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Hi Charlotte! You know I think I have a couple videos that might be helpful for your question. This one on changing your fingering after you've already learned a set fingering: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfPnXWAbal-kNE And perhaps this one on standard fingering: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYOrp3mhYpeCppI

[@charlottebournisien]

@@tiffanyharpandsong Thank you 😊!

[@SerenaCordan]

The snap-is that notes in the melody or are they like additional grace notes?

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

@@SerenaCordan The notes in the melody.

[@almaengler9784]

How do I find you Vedic on playing by ear

[@tiffanyharpandsong]

Hi! I have a playlist of easy tunes to learn here: kzbin.info/aero/PL8t1iMxDi8gGZVYeA0ukEm1KhDXcGINUK Honestly though if you are a beginner it is a great idea to have at least a couple of private lessons, to make sure you aren't forming bad habits with technique. I give lessons on zoom if you are interested. if you're looking for online videos though, I would recommend www.LearningtheHarp.com. Christy-Lyn has a lot there for very early beginners. My videos are mainly about learning Celtic music for those who already play the harp some. Best of luck!

[@nicolasseydoux5985]
