First Stars of the Evening – Harp Meditation and Relaxation Music

Not everyone has access to a pampering spa often enough, so transforming a bath into a special oasis is a wonderful solution. This is where Cymber’s new album comes in, together with a candle, some soothing scents and oils. Don’t forget the bubbles!

“Spa in a Box” is an invitation to take a break, to let go and return refreshed after a short journey into the magical world of warmth and sound.

“Green Harp” Tutorial Part 2: Section A, Right Hand

This video tutorial covers how to play the right-hand melody of Megan Metheney’s jazz tune, “Green Harp.” I created a left-hand backing track to practice with, located on my SoundCloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cymber-lily-quinn/green-harp-lf-comp-with-drums

Getting Started with Harps – Class 2: Four Different Harps

Anyone who wants to play harp has to face the daunting challenge of choosing their first harp. It’s a very personal decision, like choosing which dessert you want to eat. Knowing what goes into each type of harp is really helpful, so I made this video to help you get started.

In this video, I introduce you to a variety of non-pedal harps: Several lever harps including the the standard Harpsicle Harps Fullsicle (with electric pickups), the Harpsicle Grand (also with electric pick-ups), and the Salvi Egan electro-acoustic. And I’ll show you a different kind of harp, a Paraguayan-style harp that I built myself, based on the designs of harpmaker, John Kovac.

The best way to choose your first (or next) harp is to rent and try several different harps. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you are lucky because Jim Peek has a large rental library of harps. I can connect you to Jim if you want to try different harps.

If you live elsewhere, be sure to visit your local harp store – local is a relative term. You may need to drive several hours to get to your “local” harp store. And if you live far away from any store, please feel free to email me and ask questions. I recently helped a composer from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to pick his first harp.

No matter what you choose, you will learn a lot about what you love. As Harper Tasche says: “When you get a harp, your life will change forever. Fortunately, it is always for the better.”
