| This day in the middle of our week is different for the harp students. Historically this can be the day when harpers feel "overload" after trying to learn so many new tunes. To prevent melt-downs, this day is scheduled as a day for harpers to have a private lesson with an instructor of their choice, practice their new tunes privately or with classmates, attend various workshops, and rest. Wendy, Karen, and I put our lesson times together to capitalize upon Seumas Gagne's expertise in Gaelic and focused on the sounds each letter makes. In Gaelic, consonants can make up to 4 different sounds depending upon the adjacent vowel and whether the consonant has been "lenited" or changed due to the addition of an 'h' following a consonant. |
