Pure Imagination - Willy Wonka - Harp - Arr. Lauren Scott

Hi Everyone!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory has such a special place in my heart. As a child the candy was what amazed me but as an adult I'm still amazed by Gene Wilder and the amazing message the movie brings (and the candy still...)
I hope you enjoy this basic arrangement of Pure Imagination and my very very meager video editing skills (I tried!) A huge shout out to Lauren Scott who provided this piece for the 2019 JaNEWary Harp challenge. You can get a tutorial on how to play the piece using this link, it's taught by Mary Dunsford and she's wonderful.
• JaNEWary Challenge 201...
This channel is meant as a hub for my journey to learning Harp. I started in December of 2020 as a hobby. Mainly looking to observe progress but if you enjoy the pieces that's wonderful as well.

Thanks for listening

[@acolleenjones]

This is absolutely one of my favourite songs! You play it so beautifully.

[@derekharpson]

Thanks so much Colleen, I took a KZbin course to learn it, I highly recommend it!

[@acolleenjones]

@@derekharpson That's a great idea. I have the sheet music but it would help to be able to learn it step by step.

[@Old_rockfish]

Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@derekharpson]

Thanks so much! This is still my favourite tune to play on the harp

[@celticharper6946]

Derek! Good job!

[@derekharpson]

Thanks so much Jessica!

[@Alderney2003]

love love love! oh and love the film too! harp away Derek!

[@derekharpson]

Thanks so much, I really loved learning this piece… and the chocolate I ate because of all the memories it brought back

[@Alderney2003]

@@derekharpson Just wonderful Derek. I want to learn this next along with "Time to Say Goodbye" the latest course on Learning the Harp. I too will have chocolate lined up for both! Harping away our hours is truly awesome isn't it!! Wish me luck tomorrow as I am doing my first recital for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party and am playing Can't Help Falling in Love, Clair de Lune and finishing with my dad's favourite Coldplay Clocks. There will most certainly be humour in my forgiven mistakes :)

[@derekharpson]

@@Alderney2003 How did it go? I bet it was wonderful, such an impressive set list of songs

[@Alderney2003]

@@derekharpson aww thanks Derek for checking in. I can't lie I was nervous but Clocks went well along with Clair de Lune but a couple of mistakes on Can't Help Falling in Love. Didn't help that the whole pub was listening in the background but my mum loved it which was the most important thing. Need to work on Stage Fright! Back to practicing behind doors on a new piece. What you working on Derek? xx

[@DereksUniverse]

Sounds Awesome

[@derekharpson]

Thanks!

[@evandegarie5465]

Oh how wonderful!

[@qltygrl3187]

[@derekharpson]

Yes, you should be able to follow the link in the description to the first teaching video and there will be the sheet music there.
