Here are some numbers to give you a little perspective before I introduce my guest today. The average length of a marriage in the United States is 20 years. Business partnerships don't do nearly so well, with nearly 70%

When I was a young harpist, there was no internet. I know that would shock a young harpist today who has grown up with the wealth of resources that are available with a single click. I was curious about when exactly the
I'm always wary of instant cures, of instant solutions. You know what I mean, those ads that promise you can lose 10 pounds overnight or become a fluent French speaker in 2 weeks. The funny thing is that nobody believes

Playing music is hard. Trying to evaluate how well you are playing it is even harder, much harder. If this were a sport, a game like baseball, our efforts in relation to those of the opposing team would be reflected in t
When was the last time you took a moment to just play some chords on your harp and let yourself simply enjoy them? When you hear that rich, resonant sound, you know that this was what your harp was meant to sound like. P
A number of years ago, I wrote a blog post comparing practice styles to two breeds of dogs: a German Shepherd and a Greyhound. This was my metaphor for discussing a topic I found really hard to address with my students,
I think one of the biggest challenges in music study is that it is very difficult to really measure our progress. It's so easy to lose track of what we've accomplished when we're faced with new challenges that often seem
Spring is finally settling in where I live. You might be weeks ahead of me or behind me or in a totally different hemisphere, but in the spirit of sharing what's on my mind and what's happening in my world, I want to tal
If you came to me for a lesson and said you wanted to work on music theory, my first reaction would be to do my happy dance. I admit it - I am a theory geek. I love talking about the building blocks of music and explorin
I was recently at the home of a harpist friend, and she showed me her stack of diaries, her appointment books from past years. There were decades of them. She was deciding it was time to get rid of them, but she wasn't q
Playing by ear is one of those things that musicians either know they can do or think they'll never be able to do. Those who are practiced at it seem to have endless tunes at their fingertips. Name a tune, and if they kn
I know it's cliché, but when I was a young harpist, I wanted to be just like my teacher, the same way children want to be just like their parents. Specifically, that meant to me that I was going to play in a big orchestr
Today's show is a masterclass, a show where I get to dig in to how to do something. We aren't just talking big picture concepts; we're going to get down to the nitty gritty. I have to say this is my favorite kind of show
Are you ready to talk about page turns? I realize that page turns may not seem like a captivating topic, However, if you've ever had a page turn go wrong in a moment when you don't want to have anything go wrong, you kno
