Weekly Challenge: Couch Potato or Dancer?

Can you sit slumped over like a couch potato? Can you sit up straight with the elegance of a dancer? Here’s this week’s challenge: Sitting at your harp, play one of your pieces with couch potato-type posture. Then play it again with a dancer’s upright posture. How did they feel different? Did you notice a difference in your playing? Was one easier or more difficult? Complete the challenge by posting your biggest observation about the difference between the two.
