Slogan: Unfinished Projects

Hello again,
I haven't written for a few days now, but I am here to say that I have been doing some small, increments of work on the harp several times a day. I have improved by using those minutes to doodle instead of stare at the instrument and dream. I believe that dreaming is important also, if I don't have any of that going on when I look at it then maybe I'm not as interested as I'd like to think I am. Now, when I walk over to it and touch it I get an idea of what I want to try, I sit for 5-10 minutes and work with both hands in this one piece that has a great section that really lends itself to repeating.

A friend is laid up with an injury and I go over to help out every couple of days, she has a harp also and I play her the couple of small tunes that she really likes to hear me do. Its strange working on a different harp, its like nothing is in the same place, like borrowing a car. Hers has more strings, so when I try to go down to the bottom, where my C is, the extra strings throws me off for a second. This is good experience also.

I don't know if I have mentioned it but the piece that I use for two hand practice at the moment is Searching For Lambs, calls for left-hand chording and I am figuring out where to put my hands without the music, this is huge for me, easier to practice for a brief time. Its nearly the end of the month and this time I may have something to do a summary on.

Take care and keep on playing

Cheers, Meg
