Whew! I escaped Boston just a few hours before the Bomb Cyclone hit – and I just got back from the NYC Chamber Music America conference which was all about the Jazz-Classical connection – which is at the heart of my own concerts, compositions and...![The Artistry of Giving](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/SantaDHCSecret-artistryofgiving_v3.jpg)
The Artistry of Giving
I want to tell you about a gift I once received and the impact it had on me – which had nothing to do with the gift itself and everything to do with the way it was given. But first – Harp Players – let me tell you that I’m doing a webinar this Sun....![Let’s do it AGAIN!

Let’s do it AGAIN! (12 Reasons Students Renew Membership in Hip Harp Academy)
I am personally an online-course junkie. I almost always take classes at least twice and I always try to find an Action-Buddy to work through the class with me. Now that I have my OWN online Academy for harp players, and as we begin the SECOND year of the Academy,...![Yeah … what SHE said (Student Quotes from Hip Harp Academy)](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/quotes-HHA-blogpost_v2.jpg)

30-Days of Facebook Live
We’re all shy in different ways, even those of us who can seem bombastic. Me, I can go into a small panic attack when I haven’t posted on Facebook for a week and I know I need to. And I KNOW that the best way to get comfortable with something is to do it...![I should LOWER my expectations???](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/lower-expectations-youtube-video-screenshot.jpg)
I should LOWER my expectations???
Right now, students in my “Baroque Flamenco Beyond the Page” class are about to submit their Final (Beginning) Projects.

The Waiter who inspired my Hip Harp Toolkit
I was standing in my studio a couple years ago with my then-media-maven, Jeila, telling her about the new online course I was creating, “Hip Harp Toolkit” – and she asked, “Where did you learn to arrange for harp and what made you decide to...![Hand-to-Hand: Passing on “Baroque Flamenco”](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/dhc-hrpbrk-blevin059-400p.jpg)
Hand-to-Hand: Passing on “Baroque Flamenco”
