Collegium, day 2
Apr. 17th, 2005 08:54 pmWent back to Collegium today. This time though, Violet came along.
This was a major step. I'm still very iffy about my confidence on playing either of my harps in public, but I found that just tuning and practicing scales on Violet helped when I started to feel socialed out and overwhelmed.
Was nice seeing friends, and not feeling like I needed to bolt and run. Maybe this is something I need to do for local events - start bringing Violet along and practice when I start to get nervous or edgy.
Though if I do, I may have to have a sign made that says "yes, it is a purple harp, thank you for asking" made......
