This book is an invaluable resource for harp players at all levels of skill. Laurie Riley shares a wealth of insightful knowledge gained from her extensive performing and teaching career, combined with her thorough research into harp-related injury and discomfort. In addition to practical advice, much of the material deals with what goes on inside a player, since a large part of playing music involves feelings, experiences, and attitudes. She offers her suggestions on such subjects as buying a harp, caring for and tuning your harp, practicing effectively, the teacher/student relationship, playing by ear, various harp playing styles, conquering stage fright, using a sound system, traveling with your harp, presenting yourself, and much more. This book also includes sections on preventing and correcting chronic harp-related injury. 127 pages, paperbound.
