Random Harp bitching

[patgund]

So far I've been learning the harp for almost 2 months. And, to be honest, I'm not sure I'm tuning my harp right. My tuner says it's the right note, but it doesn't sound right to me. Bother.

And I've hit a very annoying point, where it seems like my fingers jumble together and the notes blur. And I can't seem to be able to figure out note reading.

It would be quite easy to say "forget this, I give up", and abandon all this. Except I don't want to. My practice time when I come home is one of the things I look forward to when I leave work, and for all the fustration, I'm enjoying playing too much.

(Sigh) Wish I knew how long this period lasts. It's fustrating - I feel like I can't make my fingers do what I want them to do.

But will you be like the harpist on that one episode of Gilmore Girls (yes, I am a lamer) who was playing Black Sabbath? ;)
