Hearing harp music captured my heart as a 4 year old and I still find it magical.

I like to keep use repertoire to stay in shape. https://t.co/1Kis3jGRzK One of the things I use is the Handel Concerto, and there's an excerpt of it here, but pedal or lever harp to get you started. Plenty of technical stuff to keep your skills up with useful music.

I've lost track of the times a music director asked if I could play something for Christmas eve with a student at the church where I'd been hired. Music like this gave me an arrangement that I could use with several different options. https://t.co/tHhmXPVMR8

I hope smaller venues will become more popular. I've grown to love the small, cozy concerts far more than the big concert halls. I've spent time in both. Small is very very nice.

In the realm of live music, small concert venues (such as ⁦@1901ArtsClub⁩) serve as magical spaces to create a unique connection between performers and audiences.

I performed this piece at conservatory with a friend as a horn and harp duet for a student recital. Mostly as a protest, because nobody attended these unless they were playing. The prof who approved the repertoire didn't know the piece and was really steamed.

@mirandacello Sweet!

Pianist & composer Stefano Bollani and Wayne Marshall (pianist, organist and conductor) enjoy improvising together at the piano... four hands. Bravo, maestros!

Far more hard work than "natural talent"!

[Aaron Lee, composer @MusicOfLee]

Don't fall into the trap of believing too much in "natural talent".

Your genes might prevent you from reaching the top shelf at the grocery store, but nothing will stop you from becoming a great musician if you're willing to put in the work.
