How hard is it to learn to play the harp?
Learning any instrument requires hard work and practice, just like learning how to dance or play a sport. I find that if the student is seriously interested and understands that learning to play the harp requires a time commitment on there part to practice everyday, then most students usually have no trouble learning how to play the harp. It does take time to learn, however, and in the beginning time must be spent learning how to physically pluck the strings correctly to produce the best tone. Usually by the end of a semester the student has begun to master playing simple pieces.
