GUEST Relearning instruments after a stroke (31) RE: Relearning instruments after a stroke 02 Jan 18

"
Wire harp? You pluck with the right hand, damp with the left. So the left doesn't need to be as strong or agile. " utter tosh... both hands play, both hands damp....

I'm a harpist, and I had a stroke 3 years back. I'm getting back to grips with playing, but I can't read very well anymore.. slow to process information, and I can't remember... I used to have several hours of gig music memorized... and I just can't access it anymore... Once I get it cued from a lead sheet, or something, I'm ok, unless I lose my place, then I'm lost.

I'm trying to find new ways to learn, and triggers for pulling old material back.... but it's slow going
