I have a double jointed thumbs on both hands and have tried since I started playing at 49 to stop them from collapsing. It drove my teacher Sharlene crazy. I am 74 now and am aware and sometimes I can stop it. I had given up lessons after my stroke as I just could not stand any pressure and your courses have given me so much at my own time. I am so grateful Anne. 🥰

It has taken me years to finally realize why I play harp on left shoulder. I have dyslexia and everything is opposite in my brain. I started in 1989 and learned to play good over the years . This has never been brought up but now I believe that dyslectic people have a hard time playing right shoulder. In the harp community, this should be brought up and discussed. I started in 1989 and played left shoulder left hand trebles and right hand bass even though I am right handed. Maybe this is why some folks gave up harp. I stuck with it and play well enough to play weddings and church programs. Let me know please you input .

From a fellow dyslexic. I started playing around 6 months ago and have without exaggeration learned extremely quickly. I can say that while I understand way there is a standard shoulder I actually found it to be a little funny how set people are about the shoulder thing. I have switched shoulders numerous times during training, but mostly to se my left hand from a different angle to correct posture. Though sometimes simply because switching sides is a fun and rewarding experience that helps to understand your instrument better in my experience. I asked my teacher (50+years of playing/teaching and degree in harp) about the shoulder thing yearly on because I also didn’t se the point. She simply said that the harp is mirrored so there really isn’t any reason for the rule other than set procedure and norms for easier teaching/learning. (And some harps might be built in a way that the lower or higher string is obscured by the frame from one side). I would think about it like the norm for writing whit the right hand, if the reason to prevent ink smudging wasn’t a thing but some pens are made to fit a right hand. Some people do have a easier time for example cutting with scissors in their left hand even though right handed. In that regard you might have been more comfortable with the left side. And as we dyslexic people do simply adapted accordingly to “use the cards that where given in the most efficient way”. I can whit out a doubt say that my dyslexia do affect the way I learn harp thou. It has gotten better but reading notes was a huge undertaking among other things in how I understand music as a concept. Therefore I wholeheartedly say that my teacher is worth her weight in gold. Not just for the technical stuff but in her willingness and ability to adapt her way of explaining, showing and teaching so that I understand. Her husband is dyslexic so I have been wondering if that have helped her to adapt her teaching methods. For an example I learned about cords on the harp way to early in the learning process because I was curious. Instead of explaining which notes were in the cord she simply stated “ 3 strings, every other string. And the lowest note is the cord you play”. She explained way we don’t have to count like a piano player because of the lack of black keys and could just take the strings in that order. We have developed further on the topic after but the practical way she teaches me just works. That conversation took literally less than 5 minutes but I have been able to play cords after that and understand what I’m doing.

You're such an excellent teacher, Anne!

This is an excellent tutorial! I would call it an essential tutorial. I tackled the 1-5-8 pattern during the early days of the pandemic, when I didn’t have a teacher, and your words of Hover-Open-Place were in my head. That helped a lot, but this tutorial would have been even better. Now I am going to use it to try to clean up my 1-5-10 left hand pattern, which is far from fluent. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful teaching videos and the beautiful, playable arrangements.
