January 2024 Newsletter

Question mark

Happy New Year!


Would you like to start the new year with a chance to win a $25 Sylvia Woods Harp Center gift certificate? Keep reading to find out how.


You probably know a lot about me. (If you don't, check out the About Sylvia page on my site.) Now, it is time that we all learned a bit about our entire harp community!


Have you ever been curious about questions like these?

  • What is the average age when people start to play the harp?
  • How many players own multiple harps?
  • How many played the piano before they began to learn the harp?
  • How many harp players create their own arrangements?
  • How many play in hospitals or hospice settings?

etc.


I've created a quick and easy survey that should take less than five minutes to complete. It asks what types of harps you play, when you started playing, how you tune your harp, etc.


If you complete the survey, you'll be entered into a random drawing to win one of TEN $25 Harp Center gift certificates! 


I will keep your answers completely confidential. The results, to be published in a future newsletter, will be anonymous and will present only general information on the various categories. For example, something like this:

  • xx% play both lever and pedal harp.
  • xx% of lever harp players tune their harps to three flats.
  • xx% of pedal harpists own more than one pedal harp.
  • xx% of harp players also play the piano.
  • xx% of harp players say their pets love to hear the harp.

etc.


Click here for the survey link.


The greater the number of people who complete the survey, the more accurate the results will be. So, whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned professional, I heartily encourage you to complete and submit it.


Thank you, and good luck in the drawing!


Sylvia


P.S. Here's a hypothetical scenario. If you are lucky and win one of the $25 gift certificates, and it only took you three minutes to complete the survey, that's equivalent to making $500 an hour! Not too shabby!

A Harp Photo in an Unusual Place

Pyramid Collection

www.pyramidcollection.com

Several friends and students recently sent me this photo on the cover of The Pyramid Collection women's clothing catalog featuring a Dusty Strings Crescendo harp.


Ray and Sue Mooers, the owners of Dusty Strings, also sent me the photo, remarking that the image had been photoshopped to remove the oval Dusty Strings logo plate on the neck.


Obviously, the woman in the red dress does not actually play the harp. But I love it whenever the harp is featured in non-harp publications and settings. Next time, I hope they keep the logo in the shot!
