Instagram Party with Alex the Fool
Alex and I were in our semi-weekly creative-buddy session on Skype last week. He said he was about to go to Sint Maarten for a “Clowns without Borders” tour, and wanted to be able to post the cool things he’ll be doing on the trip in Instagram...![So What’s to Celebrate???](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/birthday-cake-hanuka-lion-flame-harp-464137_1080x675.jpg)
So What’s to Celebrate???
It’s my birthday month, and like other years in November, I’ve been promoting the art of celebration through a single song – which was why I first published this post a year ago under the title “Crisis of Conviction.” Last year my...![A Big Beautiful Creation](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/alphabet-forward-backward-on-computer.jpg)
A Big Beautiful Creation
I’m in the middle of a 30-day challenge to show up LIVE on Facebook every day – and to my delight, people email me their takeaways from those sessions. Thank you so much to the anonymous emailer who emailed me this one! It started when Clarice wrote in the...![30-Days of Facebook Live](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FB-LIVE-30-days-header-blog-ezine.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...![Free Jazzy Harp Stuff](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/jazzharptunelist-starter-download-it1-574x675.jpg)
Free Jazzy Harp Stuff
[Some of the info in this post I’ve shared before so don’t be surprised if it looks familiar!] Harpists have asked me to teach jazz harp for years. But every time I took students, I realized they were missing some fundamentals about music. That’s why...![We All Enter Slimy](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/snail-on-arrow-wrong-way-green-1closer-1024x768-47353_1024x675.jpg)
We All Enter Slimy
I’ve just started the process of editing the first level of “Hip Harp Academy” my year-long pre-jazz program for harp players. That means that Mackenzie, my school administrator and I, are going back through content of the 10+ programs that make up the...![Enriching Life Experience Through Music](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/HHA-banner-join-academy-for-ezine-fatter_v3.jpg)
Enriching Life Experience Through Music
Sometimes I feel like I have a secret life inside my Hip Harp Academy. Each week I meet live online with the Core-Level students for an Q&A chat about the current course. The more time I spend with my students, the more I realize that the school’s about way more...![DHC interviews International Harp Festival Harpists](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-j-ellis-ihf-interview.jpg)
