Why learn the harp?

The harp is a brilliant instrument on which to learn music. All the notes are there under your hand and from the first, simplest tunes you will make a great sound and most importantly, it's fun! 
Music lessons are typically an hour of the week, during which you can achieve so much and enjoy your self in the process. 
It is an amazing feeling being able to create emotions through music and not only make others around you happy but be happy with yourself. 
Every little step in music is a brilliant achievement and no matter what level you are at, you should give music a go; it's never too late to learn. 
The harp is such a rewarding instrument and it is surprisingly versatile. You can learn folk, classical, jazz, pop etc. and is also a fantastic way to learn harmony and ambidexterity. 
Learning music is intensive work that helps you develop not only your musicianship skills but your cognitive, maths, memory capacity, organisational ability, listening and many more.

Can an adult learn the harp?

OF COURSE! Yes! If you play another instrument, you will go as fast as your fingers will take you. If you don't play an instrument it will take a little longer but give you an even greater sense of achievement.

As a mature student, which sort of harp should I buy?
Start by hiring. When you have played for a few months, you will have opinions of your own.
The first 3 months rental is always refundable by Pilgrim Harps when you buy a new harp from us. 
After that, the music will lead you. If you want to play Classical music or Jazz music, then you will need a pedal harp eventually. If you enjoy the folk tunes and simpler melodies, or want the instrument for self accompaniment, then the Non-Pedal will probably be your choice.

Picture
"The finest pedal harp that has ever been made in Britain. It is much lighter than most concert harps and, this combined with an original body construction, has a range of sonority and dynamic that is quite remarkable.”
