"The hand poses and your descriptions in the book totally changed my ability to play the harp! I am a classically trained musician.
I’ve worked very hard to learn harp the traditional way and it was a very slow and laborious process… but your YouTube videos, and the book with descriptions and hand poses changed everything!!!
Your methods turned me into a harp player… a real harpist who understands the instrument!”
