Thread Name: Musical New Years Resolutions
Subject: RE: Musical New Years Resolutions
Well, I think this is the same New Year's resolution I made last year, but ... I still want to learn how to play melody & accompaniment on the Celtic/lever harp and not just get away with playing accompaniment to other melody instruments.

I've made some progress despite an extreme lack of practice and only getting to half the weekly sessions this year due to work commitments. But, I want to sit down and learn how to do it properly, not just flying by the seat of my pants. It's hard without other harpers nearby, but I seem to be getting more focused on wanting to do this, and therefore becoming more motivated to do the work.

I could say this in a whisper, but I don't feel like trying out html code, but I think ... maybe ... it's possible ... I might just try ... singing along with the harp. I seem to be heading that way, and a lot of it is down to Mudcat & Mudcatters and so much talk about singing songs, and how wonderful it feels to sing. Thanks everyone.

So, that is a Millenium resolution, it might not happen this year, but...
