This will be my new personal musicmaker's page. Here. I will share my adventures with you!
The joy of making music
I started playing the piano when i was 9 years old. Of course as a teenager, you do not want to play classical music and study a lot, so i stopped playing when I was 13 years old or around that age. I picked up an electric guitar when i was 20 and had two years of lessons with that. After years of experimenting with guitars and keyboards, i started to get more interest in folk music and i loved the music of bands like Clannad. I play harp since january 2013. I started to play on a Triplett Signature harp. Since then additional harps have come to the house. After two years I went to the Highlands of Scotland and ordered a Starfish Glennelle in Cherrywood. This is now my most travelled harp! I now own a collection of 5 harps. The latest addition is a Teifi Telor. I also own a Camac Electroharp and a Triplett Christina.
