How would I go about learning to play the harp?
I’ve always wanted to learn how. If I could master just one musical instrument, it would be the harp. How much would a harp cost? How about the lessons? Could I possibly teach myself? Any info would help. Thanks.
I’m a harper; I’ve been teaching myself for sixteen years now. You may e-mail me if you like, and I can give you more specific information. Where do you live? What variety of harp would you like to play–pedal or lever? I can direct you better if I have an idea what you have in mind.
I play Irish harp, and so most of the music I play is Irish, Scottish or Welsh. My harp is made by a company called Dusty Strings, based in Seattle, Washington, USA; I bought it at Melody’s Traditional Music in Houston, Texas. Mine has 32 strings; if you were to buy it new today, it would be about $3,900.00. Dusty Strings is the best maker of lever, or folk, harps in the US, in my opinion.
If you’re interested in pedal harp, a cheap one will be about $10,000, but it is completely chromatic, and has a greater range than lever harps have.
You can teach yourself some things, but a teacher will be of immense help. You might inquire at your local music store; they’re the best connection for music teachers and students to hook up.
