I don't even approach pro harp status, but I have decided that I truly need to buckle down and learn a lot more about everything to do with harp playing. It is a passion to learn to play the harp as well as I can.
I'm a writer, whose schedule is crazy ... from about 3-4 a.m. to 10 a.m. I live alone, so I have time for some study. I'm a greybeard with no disabling habits, i.e. I can still concentrate. I would love to reach a level where I could play a chromatic slide and a super-big bass concert model. My knowledge of composition and music is sketchy.
Is there a homecourse, CD or whatever that would pick me up from far down the ladder and teach me whatever is possible? I don't have any pretensions of becoming a pro harp man, but would like to be able to play with fairly capable musicians of all types.
If you think I am asking too much to want to do this, then tell me that too.
