1/15/26 - Advanced Harp

This is going to be so much fun, I cannot wait to begin working on this!! I really like this arrangement. The 8th notes really capture that rhythm of the song. I didnt realize until I listened that I only associated this song with Lauren Hill’s version, so I am slightly more enthusiastic about this version with a faster tempo and fun upbeat. This is one of the few songs where I would not mind getting any ensemble part. I think I would have fun with the accompaniment or the melodic part. I also found the chromatic “glissandos” in the recording funny, a true representation of composing with technology. 

7/31/25 - Advanced Harp

Before Listen: I am really excited to play it. A friend shared it with me and we never got the chance to learn it completely. I remember it being very fast so that may be a challenge.

After Piano Listen: It is a very fun piece. I definitely like the song when played on piano rather than on harp. 

After Harp Arrangement: I remember why I never finished this piece. I hate the cleff changes. It is a headache to play and often easy to misread. In addition, since many of the notes are scales/arpeggios, it can be very to misread and very easy to get lost. I think this piece will be a very interesting and challenging learn, however, I am very excited to play it.
