How do you get to Carnegie Hall – with a checklist?
OK, it’s not exactly Carnegie Hall – it’s the Pantages Theater in Tacoma, WA – and I’ll be there April 22 — but it’s the only joke I ever heard my grandmother tell, and I’m pretty sure she meant it as a lesson and not a joke: A tourist, lost in New...![Blues is language](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/BLUES-is-a-language-anyone-can-speak.jpg)
Blues is language
What do you think ‘the Blues’ is? It’s a style of music, for sure. You could even call it a mode of expression. I was always drawn to music that sounded ‘Bluesy,’ but I didn’t know what ‘the BLUES’ was ‘til I started playing the harp and...![Blues Harp Riff-of-the-Day!](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Free-harp-minicourseJoin-me-now-FB-boost-e1493174069965.jpg)
Blues Harp Riff-of-the-Day!
I always wanted to create a project like this: A 6 day series where harp players get one short riff each day and an MP3 Playalong Blues so they can just down and play their HARPS out!! I created the “Riff-of-the-Day” mini-course as a warmup for my...![Deborah Henson-Conant LIVE with Symphony Tacoma](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/180422-EarthSongs-from-harp-Tacoma-square-text.jpg)

Are you DONE?? or … How to get done without a deadline.
Are you DONE? What does DONE even mean??? After decades of creating and performing my own music, my definition of ‘done’ means ‘in sharable form.’ My whole life I’ve been a composing-perfomer and ’til now, “Done” meant...![Dear Creative Adventurer … Discovering the Strings of Passion](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/adventurer-tea-1024x612-1024x612.jpg)
Dear Creative Adventurer … Discovering the Strings of Passion
Every week (or so) when I send out to the people on my email list, I begin each email with “Dear Creative Adventurer,” and that started a couple years ago.

My First Kiss
This is a story I wrote out in 1996 when my local NPR station challenged listeners to write in about their first kiss. This was mine — read on the air Feb. 14, 1996. I lived in North Carolina. He lived in California. When I met him, I was visiting my...![Hip Harp Academy 2018 Schedule of Courses](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/HHA-redscarf-redbadgelogo-header-for-ezine-smlr.jpg)
