I am impressed by how many student harp players there are in Cedar Rapids. Last Saturday, Harrison performed with an "Honor Harp Ensemble" as part of the Metro Youth Orchestra festival. The ensemble pictured below is made up strictly of 6th and 7th graders from Franklin and McKinley Middle Schools (and there are four members who did not show up for the concert). Amazing.
Mr. Clancey, the Franklin Orchestra Director, was able to secure HD a spot taking lessons with the same Harp teacher he (Mr. Clancey) studies with - so hopefully I can find a way to pay for them! After seeing the difference between the skills of the private study students and the ones who take lessons at school, I think it would be worth it if we can afford it.
