After this crazy, fun, and techy harp day (looking at pedals and PA systems), it made me think about the progress I’ve made this year. It’s been… Tough, to say the least. But I’ve done a lot of growing, and I think this clip is one of my favourite examples!

Although this is far from perfect (or final tempo 😂), the Magic Fire Music from Wagner’s Ring Cycle was probably one of the biggest challenges from me – this was the best attempt I could get on film! I’ve never ever (even since) done this many pedal changes for a piece, and it was so hard, but so satisfying at the same time. This time last year I wouldn’t have told someone they were crazy if they said I’d be able to do this by now!
