A. Hasselmans - Fileuse. Alisa Sadikova - 9 years old harpist! 

Thank You very much! :-)

I totally agree with you! :-)

The studio assistant is a complete dork. A simple double velvet cloth could have solved the problem very efficiently, effectively and quietly. The lack of professionalism is always lurking around hunting easy preys...

It’s the pedal extenders-shes too short to reach the actual pedals, and the extenders make significantly more sound than the actual pedals.

Yes, she is! :-) But it was her fourth year of practicing. And for my students it is quite normal to play this piece after 3-4 years of learning harp by my method. You can find more information about my method here: harpschool.de/ and I also give on-line lessons and master courses now. :-)

@@harpvio OooOo wow! I have been playing harp for 5 years now I think, don't k ow how that works, you must be an amazing teacher 😆🤔

@@Anonamai For this boy, for example, it took 5 years to get this level: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-718fOnw0o5A.html But with this girl: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivGEqjD7vcs.html we have been practicing for just 4 years, and we learn now and will record soon the same piece - A. Hasselmans - Fileuse. :-) It is very important to learn consistently and methodically from the outset. But I am sure that You too can achieve good results if You turn to my method now. :-) Contact me if You would like to get my master course or regular lessons. info@harpschool.de

Lol you can’t do that with a harp. The oil will damage the wood. And the pedal noises aren’t her fault-anyone with pedal extensions will make that noise, regardless of skill level.

Thank you very much! She keeps playing. :-) And You can even see how far Alisa has come now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DlqrsxnjYcs.html

gaijintendo ?

Thank You! :-) You can listen to all Alisa's recording on my account here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber and on my web site: harpschool.de/alisa-sadikova/ Sincerely, Alisa's teacher, Olga Shevelevich

Thank You! :-)

The concert harp pedals are used to change the pitch of each string one semitone up (sharp) and down (flat) from the natural sound. The harp has 7 pedals - according to the number of notes in the scale. And each pedal has three positions - middle for naturals, low for sharps and high for flats. :-)

@@harpvio wow, that sounds very complicated. Thanks for answering my question.

Amico hai scritto un tema😂

Just because you played only with the ducks in her age it doesn't mean that Alisa is abused, just look at her face.

+emeraldvenus exactly!

+fitfrenzy, Now Alisa is older (she is 12 years old now) and You can listen to and watch her last recordings on my channel (harpvio).

The pedal noises are not her fault. It is an old Russian harp, and sometimes these harps have many problems, for example: pedal noises...

You misunderstood me. I didn't talk about the pedal noises. As a harpist I like to see a close up shot of a harpist's hands and technique as it is always educational. The pedals are interesting, indeed, but I felt with this particular video, too much time was focused on the pedals, and it pulled away from getting to see her technique. Just personal preference. Believe me, I have played on many older pedal harps that were well used and didn't have the quietest action.

emeraldvenus I can appreciate that. I am just coming from a different angle.
