It has such a rhythmic feel and altogether a lovely arrangement. Carrie does a great job explaining crossing under, and all the other necessary skills

I really enjoy learning this piece, first time playing 2 hands together. Section E, F easier to learn than I thaught, except the bridge to repeat it, I’m still working on it. Thank you Carrie for this course.

I honestly wasn’t sure how I would like video lessons with Carrie, but she is a truly excellent harp teacher. I like her description of closing one’s whole fingers and not just the tops, which is really developing my hand posture to new levels. She has an excellent video at the beginning to remind you about all the basics of harp playing: how to sit, how to play, and how far away the harp should be so you start well.
If you are ready to learn overlapping fingers, this is an excellent lesson to learn that skill and the song is learned much more quickly than some others because so much of this song is repetition.
