Progression

It’s been about three weeks since I bought my harp.  Since we had holidays and moving preparations, I didn’t always have the amount of practice time that I would have hoped for.  Also, my lessons haven’t begun yet, though it should be soon.  Still, I feel there has been a lot of improvement.  Wish I had videoed the first day for comparison, but my first video was just over a week into my journey.  

This song was a much greater challenge that the first, “Sailing on a Lake” by Christy-Lyn Marais, because it was harder to memorize and the hands don’t always move in the same direction.  In the first song, the right hand and the left hand simply played broken chords, starting at a low note and always moving higher.  Both hands also played the same notes for every phrase.  I think for someone who has played piano, that is much simpler.  Luckily, for the new song, I had a video lesson from the composer, which you can find here:  https://www.christylynmusic.com/after-the-rain-video-lesson.   She goes through her composition step-by-step, and you can play it over and over again – which I did!  So here I have for you “After the Rain.”
