    Wow! You make such great music with just ten strings! That’s talent. Thank you for showing us the possibilities with such a small harp.

    I don't have enough money to buy a 32 string harp, even a harpsicle so I just ordered a small 8 string harp from amazon and what you do with yours gives me great joy. I can't wait to have mine.
    Edit : oh ! mais tu es française ! :)

      Thank you Dame Corvus! This is so nice to read! I hope you will enjoy your new harp! Every instrument has its merits. Historically in some countries, traditional instruments had very few strings. I once heard a kantele player from Finland explain that having few strings forced musicians to be even more creative in their playing so that they could fit tunes on their smaller range instrument, and I found that incredibly inspiring! I have just started writing a music book with pieces especially written for 8-note instruments, I will let you know when it’s ready :)

    Awesome job as always! And I like the idea behind this. I did something similar a few times playing music with a cheap toy store keyboard to show that it is possible to create good music with whatever you have on hand.

    Mais regardez-moi ce bébé Harpe qui malgré ses courtes pattes produit un son fort plaisant et effectivement permet déjà de faire de la musique. Sacré Marianne, je pense que si je te donnais une boîte d'allumettes et trois élastiques, tu serais en mesure de composer une suite Celtique .Je suis fier d'être ton nouvel ami à distance certes, mais fidèle à ta belle musicalité.

    theres also small iris drums, bohdrans - and if you like to hike and camp, you can easily pack a harp and drum next to your extra dry socks and stuff

    Is this mostly an adaptation of the Hyrule Market Theme to fit the limitations of the instrument?

    Hey I'm a beginner with the harp. I'm trying to play this song but it does not sound like yours. I think I'm going to fast or I'm not pulling the strings enough. Any advice?

    • @mariannebouvettemusic
      @mariannebouvettemusic  2 роки тому +1

      Hello! First of all congratulations on starting the harp! Even though this piece is meant for baby harps, it is quite a challenging piece if you’re a complete beginner (as it takes some practice with finger placement) and if you have zero music background (for reading notes and following the rhythm pattern). But here’s a few tips - first of all, make sure your instrument is tuned properly (the strings should be tuned to CDEFGABC in 440 Hz starting from the bottom string). Then using UA-cam’s player speed watch the video at slow pace to play along. Please let me know how it goes!

      @@mariannebouvettemusic I'm not a complete beginner though I have had an aklot harp for over a year but has been only practicing the basics and easy songs and didn't think that this harp can be used for more challenging songs like this and the video you made with the 15 songs, awesome. I have taken all your advice and seeing lots of improvement already. Thank you 😁😊
