Harp Lesson

Today I had a harp lesson. I go every Thursday night. Today I learned how to keep my hand in the correct position when I play with more than one finger. It is pretty hard but I love playing. My teacher is really nice too. I have been playing my harp for almost one year. I was inspired to play the harp when I went to a home school conference at a MACHE conference a few years ago. The people giving the conference that I went to were the Mali Children. Each of them play the harp. It is SO beautiful and soothing. My mom loves it when I play. She says that she can never tell when I make a mistake but I know when I do and it REALLY bugs me. I will play that song over and over again until I can play it without any mistakes. Even if it means playing that song ten times, I want to make it as close to perfect as possible. I try to practice for at least a half an hour a day. But sometimes I play more. I don't mind though, nobody in my family does, we all (Well except Gus and O) love when I play. Even my little brother Z.Z who is only two likes playing the harp and piano with me. I LOVE MUSIC!!!
