Never played any instrument and now learning harp as a complete beginner aged 77

I have ordered a harp and it won’t arrive for 8 weeks. I would like to make use of this waiting time to learn music theory for harp.

Thank you for this teaching. I learn to read the sheet music for it is very important in the future. For me play the harp brings healing. I love play gospel music. Greeting from Netherland 💯👌👋

Reading music has always been a ball of frustration for me, I came to the harp after playing flute for 20 years. I have been playing harp for a little over that now. But when I want to play a piece of music I have trouble with the grad staff. It takes me forever to understand 😳 what to do. The one thing on my side is I have a good ear so if I hear a piece I like it gets in my ear and I play it perfectly on my harp. But if I try to read the music for that piece it really takes forever. I could not understand this at first but I find it's because of the way the piece is written. Especially harp music, They put way to many notes for the left hand are they over kill the piece with to many chords. I love Sir Andrew Lloyd webber the song I wish you where somehow here again and Are all I ask of you. If it's arranged by a harpist they over do it and it becomes difficult to learn the piece. What I started doing is find a easy piano book with these pieces and it works beautifully for me on my harp. I have learn almost the whole photam of the opera pieces this way. They are written to complicated for the harp but piano composers got it right. I don't play piano but pianists have really help me play the music I love on my harp. Louisiana USA.

This is really interesting. I might try this with new students, starting with both staves. Do you know a book that works like that?

Would this system work for learning to read music for piano? My husband struggles to learn to read music. Thanks!
