This is SOOO helpful! I've been looking for more about the plucking technique and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
You are so welcome. I'm glad to be able to help 😊
The pinky is not used then. Is the thumb plucking outward & the rest of the fingers inward? Very helpful video.
The motion is all towards the palm of the hand, like a baby opening and closing their hands
This is very helpful and solid advice. Hand injuries are common when an instrument is not played properly.
Thank you for your videos!
You're welcome :)
Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials. As a beginner, I truly appreciate your video and helpful tips. ❤
You're most welcome. I'm so glad you find them useful. Thank you for watching ❤️
This has been so helpful for me especially as a new player with some serious arthritis in my hands and arms- the notes to stretch, keep relaxed, and learn proper positioning are so helpful! Thank you for making such a wonderfully helpful and lovely channel. 🌻
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I love watching your videos. You are a very good teacher. This is my very first instrument. You make it so easy to follow and learn.
Thank you so much April. I am so glad that your are enjoying the beginner clips 🤗💕
I'm new to the lyre, and this is so very helpful! I'm a jazz drummer and have a permanent issue from tensing up in my knee over the years. It's getting in the way of my playing, and affecting me outside of drumming. It's so, so important to practice good technique from the start, and maintain maximum relaxation, otherwise a price is paid down the track!
Welcome! A relax technique is best in the long run. ❤️
Thank you so very much for your reply.. I thought I was going crazy ... I for sure am guitar oriented and just can not get my mind to function backwards... so now I understand and can move forward... I will be following you closly.. thank you again, I have been asking this question for several week all around.. so glad I found you...
You’re welcome. If you’re on Facebook you can join our lyre group and ask as much questions as you like and get more answers/help from the members. We have very helpful members.
I'm watching even though I don't have Lyre
@@Yonyan_ Thank you for watching ❤️
Hi - Love your tutorials... and have a question ... I do not understand why some lyres are strung high to low - and other low(bass) to high... I so need to understand this so I can move forward.... can you help?
This is a common question. Lyres don’t have standard string orientation. It truly comes down to preference. Most players that come from guitar background prefer the low to high because it will be easier to apply their knowledge for finger picking guitars and strumming. For those that come from harp or would like to move on to playing harp or chromatic lyres will prefer the high to low because it matches the string orientation and they can apply harp plucking techniques or glide method. Diatonic lyres sounds pretty much the same regardless of string orientation as they are mostly built with the same materials
Hello!
I've been following you and in love with your art, music. And as a big fan of harp, me and my sister decided to learn to play lyre. Watching your magical and beautiful videos, you becoming an inspiration, our desire to learn that mesmerizing instrument has grown even bigger.
If possible, we would like to learn about lyres and which one to buy to play a long time. There are 24 stringed and 19 stringed as we looked up, what are the differences and which would be best for us? We would be so happy to hear from you!
Thank you ~
Thank you so much for your generous comment💓. I am excited for you and your sister learning to play the lyre. I hope it will bring you lots of joy. I don't have a 24 string lyre so it cannot comment too much on it without having tried one. I have a 19 and 16 string lyres. I did a comparison video of my two lyres if you haven't seen it yet. As a harpist, I love playing melodies, so to me, the more string the better. 😃I tend to use my 19 string lyre a lot more especially when I'm playing melodic songs like hymns and traditional songs. I also prefer the sound and string spacing on my 19 lyre. I have a 24 string solid body lyre coming to me that I bought from one of our FB members but I have no idea when it will get here. I would be happy to do a comparison with this lyre and my 19 string lyre when it arrives. Please join our FB group if you haven't done already so we can cheer you and your sister on. The website has lots of learning tools for beginners too if you would like to see them. Thank you again 🤗
Love your vibe lady. Thanks for the help
Thank you ❤️

I'm feelin it.
I'm glad you like it, also hope it's useful ❤
Do you know of an app to tune this? 16 string G3-A5
I use the free version of tuner - pitched for all my instruments
Hello i am totally new to this. And i have a question can you play this instrument two handed.
Yes it is possible as long as the access holes are open. You can check my video on how to play with two hands if you like. Most end up playing with one hand as it is easier especially on smaller lyres
@@learningthelyreharp thank you very much for your answer
Amazingly helpful. You are great! Thank you
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
How many strings do you recommend we begin with?
It depends on what you want to play. I personally like my 19 string and 21 string the best because the string orientation is the same as a harp. Most beginners starts with 16strings and it is usually enough to play many melodic songs.
Legenda em português por favor 😊
Adicionei tradução automática para português neste vídeo. Tenha um dia maravilhoso
Playing the harp technique, Is there more chance of buzzing from our finger nails?
Yes there is especially if the lyre has narrow spacing. Harp plucking technique is not ideal for all lyres. For those that have narrower spacing, glide method or lyre picking might work better. Both of these techniques are going to be covered in the beginner series as well as a couple more❤
Thank you teacher I learn a lot
You're welcome 💕 😊
Thank you so much for your videos. It’s such a blessing to have a kind and gifted teacher. I hope you can answer this question for me. I got a wonderful 16 string Cega harp that is tuned left to right, low to high. My son got me another lyre for a gift with 21 strings and it is tuned exactly the opposite. It’s hard to learn one way and then have to switch. Are all 21 string lyres tuned high notes to low ones?
Yes lyres with 19 or more strings are tuned the opposite of 16 strings because the manufacturers market them as a step up for playing chromatic lyres and harps so they string in the same orientation as chromatic lyres and harps
There is a newer brand called Byla that has more strings the same as 16 strings. I'm not sure if this is available where you are
@@learningthelyreharp Thank you so much for your answers! I am challenged in many physical ways, being nearly blind in my left eye and having had a broken left arm and shoulder so limited in strength and ability of my hand. I played violin which I miss very much and the lyre has given me great joy. I will try to find the Byla harp. I love your videos.
