It's so easy to play the harp on autopilot! Let's revisit how to sit at the harp and how to hold it, so that your body can support you playing your favourite music, instead of holding you back or even hurting you.

I filmed this harp video lesson last fall for my email newsletter, and realized it might be helpful for more people if I upload it publicly to KZfaq! Hope it helps!

Thank you for this excellent video. Positioning is very often ignored in teaching videos but is so important. If your back starts hurting your practice session will be cut short.

Very true! It's amazing how many times an issue that seems unrelated actually goes away when we make sure we're sitting correctly.

Thank you for putting this out there! I feel like these points can all get so easily forgotten or overlooked, and as someone who has ouchy posture problems already it really helps to go back to the core of good positioning for playing to make sure my body has the least friction possible. It really helps when i try to make sure old problems don’t cause more problems 😅 P.S. i’m really excited for this channel!

It's so true, it's so easy to stop thinking about this kind of thing so it's always good to pause and check in with the body! And I'm excited too, I have so many video ideas 😄

Thank you so much for making this. I've notice for a little while just recently my position has been less comfortable and I have been Ignoring it. Thanks to you I took the time to look at it and noticed the adjustment knob and feet of my stool had worn out and I was now lower than I used to be.

Oh man, those kinds of things can creep up on you without noticing but make a huge difference, so I'm glad you were able to adjust that!

@@SamanthaBallardHarpStudio I adjusted it and then it changed again without me touching it I now think its worn out through excessive sitting and needs to be replaced.
