5 Ways to Give the Gift of Music

It can be hard to find the perfect gift, especially a gift for the special adults in your life. But you have a big advantage over most people. Why? Because you play the harp.

If you haven’t ever thought of your harp playing as a gift you could give someone, I’d like to help you rethink it. Harp music is special; we harpists all know that. It’s unique; how many people do you know who play the harp? And it’s something that is important to you. That makes it personal and extra meaningful both to you and to the person who receives it.

Monday Challenge: Metronome Madness

Set your metronome to 80. Play a simple one-hand scale matching each note to one click of the metronome. Play the same scale again but this time play 2 notes for each click (as if your notes were eighth notes to a quarter note metronome click). Play the scale again with 4 notes to each click (like 16th notes). Then play the scale once more with one note for every two clicks (this will be very slow, as if you were playing half notes). Complete the challenge by posting which was easiest to play and which was hardest. For an extra challenge, do this exercise with a 4 measure part from one of your pieces.
