Although only two other harpists were able to attend, we had a fabulous
time, jamming away, laughing, and losing ourselves in the music.
I learnt so much, just observing other techniques, and after a couple of
songs, was quite fearlessly improvising to tunes I had never played before! :)
And there is nothing like it for motivation! That evening I couldn't put the
harp down, and practiced for ages on my own.
There is nothing like the feeling of jamming with other harpists, and I can't
wait for the second meeting next month!
Although the focus is definitely on harps, Harper's Hearth is open to all
acoustic instruments, and is held on the last afternoon of each month,
so if any Aussie harpers out there would like to attend, please drop me
a line ;)
Thanks for listening,
Happy harping,
Morgana
