I’m one of the folks that found you via the curious deer video. The biggest surprise is your bluesy singing voice. Please do more videos with you singing.
The deer video must be catching some major views because it seems like many of us have found you that way recently! Just got done binging several of your videos and so glad I did! I love your assessment of The Office(s?) and agree lol. Thank you for over a year's worth of videos to sooth the soul!
I search and listen to different music, but when I came on your channel last year, I first heard "the sounds of silence", since then I still listen to your music. 🎶 Lots of love from India🇮🇳 May your🙏 future be bright and may you get all the happiness in the world.
Découvert ta chaîne il y a 1heure, j'ai écouter et ré-écouter plusieurs fois tes vidéos, franchement, quel plaisir pour les yeux, quel calmant pour l'âme. Et maintenant ce Q&A, Ah, vraiment agréable et charmante personne que tu es ! Bonne journée, et s'il te plaît, continues tes vidéos. ;)
I have only been aware of you and your music for the last few months, but I find myself returning often. I find your music relaxing and tranquil. And, many times, after a long hard day, I have fallen asleep with your harp music. It is very peaceful. And we both share a love for deer. What keen ears they have. Thank you Naomi
@@NaomiSVWell thank you, it really does help me settle the nerves, basically, clear my head. Happy I found you. Thanks for all you do 🙂 and good luck with things in Quebec, or Cali, whichever, wherever you may be. Getting like winter here in Michigan. Be well Naomi 🦌
I absolutely fell in love with harps after I discovered your channel, I usually listen to lots of 'noisy' music like metal n stuffs, and I was amazed how peaceful it felt when I'm listening to your harp covers. It instantly puts me into an otherworldly trance like state. it's kinda hard to describe it by words. love your content, keep up the good work.
As a huge Tolkien fan, I have to say that once I've heard your music, your voice and seen your face, my first thought was "This must be Tinúviel!" and you bear more than a passing resemblance to Edith Bratt, the one who inspired the character. I've always felt that the harp has an almost magical, ethereal quality that is unmatched save by a very few instruments.
Whenever I'm having a bad day, or I'm stressed, I listen to your version of Sound of Silence. It's a nice soothing tone and enjoyable to listen to. I also like the blooper reel where the deer spooked you. I live on a farm and I would see about 5 or so deer on our 40 acre farm.
@@NaomiSV the fact that you left it in the video probably means you are trying to send a subtle message. 🤔 What could that be? Probably don't depend on harp playing? 🤔
This was a great video, and the inquiries were actually quite interesting too! Much more so than typical q&a styles... Sure answered a few questions I had in my head, wondering what brought you to where you are with everything. And others are right, your style does most definitely bring on a calming atmosphere/effect, and certainly can help one unwind from the craziness of today. 😉 Best of luck, and hopefully by the end of year 2 you’ve received the gold plaque! Cheers 🥂
Honestly, I think piano is the best instrument to go from if you want to learn the harp! When I first started playing, I mainly drew from my piano repertoire and adapted it from the harp. The notes are laid out in a similar way, so it can be quite intuitive.
@@NaomiSV Ahhh that's so good to know. I started learning music on recorders and then piano, as most children do, but I never managed to get proficient. It was singing that clicked for me, so I went through my grades for classical singing and my piano fell by the wayside a little. Hopefully, there's enough in my brain left to pick up something like harp. It's so beautiful, I would love it!
Very cool that you’re into classical singing! Honestly, the point of music should be to have fun, not to be proficient. If you’re interested in learning the harp, you should go for it! Harpsicles are relatively affordable (harps are expensive…) and a good way to test whether you enjoy playing before committing to a bigger harp. It’s worth checking music stores for rentals too!
If there were more people like you in the world, there would be less crime, less war, less hate, and a lot more love! Thank you for sharing your talent. May you live a long and fulfilling life.🥰
Thank you for this video to know about you. Not only you transmit to me peace through your interpretations, but also a freshness to the mind because of your creative scenarios in your performances and a good taste of locations choosing. Greetings from México.
Loved getting to know you and your background a bit better! It’s amazing how many instruments you can play! You’re so talented and I always enjoy your videos.
The world was coming to an end and then you came along to gently but confidently let us have hope for everything good amidst so many pain and hardship: thanks so much for everything Naomi ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you more 🙏🙏🙏
Je viens de découvrir ta chaine avec la fameuse histoire du cerf il y a quelques heures, j'écoute tout en boucle depuis car je suis incroyablement conquis. C'est merveilleux ce que tu fais. Hâte de voir les futurs vidéos
Your multi-talented as an artist and very delightful to watch. I've just discovered your channel. I've lived in apartments before and would've greatly preferred hearing a harpist through the wall vs the "music" I was subjected to.
They say piano is the ideal instrument to start with for that reason. I started pretty young being fortunate enough to have a grandmother who taught music professionally I'm a brand new follower here. So intrigued by your energy :) PS Nick Cave is an epic choice. Give Shipla Ray a listen. Nick brought her on one of his tours after discovering her
I too came upon your channel via the "curious deer" video. Then I came to this one and thought Wow! She speaks fast!...then I felt moved by your harp playing again and wondered if I might pick up harp playing myself. I will continue to listen and learn.
Naomi, tu n'imagines pas la joie que j'ai ressentie en apprenant que tu es francophone et que tu es venue plusieurs fois dans le sud de la France, où j'habite ! Je suis vraiment heureux car je me sens tout de suite plus proche de toi, qui fais partie de mes youtubers préférés :)
You add so much good to our universe. I love to listen and watch you and your creativity and music, and experience all the positive vibrations sent out in the world. Thank you
The oldest reference to a harp is in Scotland (known here as a clàrsach). The earliest depictions of a harp can be found carved on 8th century Pictish stones in Scotland. These stones show the familiar triangular framed harp, with a fore pillar. It's usage apparently spread south from Scotland to the Anglo Saxons who commonly used gut strings (our Pictish harps were strung with horsehair), and also west to the Gaels of the Scottish Highlands and on to Ireland. The earliest written reference to a harp is found in the Book of Deer, a 10th century manuscript from the north of Scotland. The manuscript contains a poem that mentions a harpist named Calum Cille. It was a popular instrument in Scotland during the Middle Ages and was used in both secular and religious music. It was also used as a symbol of our identity. The harp continued to be played in Scotland until the 18th century. However, the popularity of the instrument declined in the 19th century quite a bit. Then in the 20th century, there was a revival of interest in the harp in Scotland and it's now played by both traditional and classical musicians, still being used mostly in folk music and in Celtic music.
I didn't know where you came from. I am happy to hear that you are bilingual. I am French and I would like to speak several languages as well. It must take you a long time to make your videos. I like your channel and some of your covers: it's soft and relaxing on the harp. :-)
sometimes, when I just cant find joy in listening to music at all, I search for your name on youtube and listen to your beautiful harp play. I could always listen to it for hours on end. It really soothes my soul... I feel like the deer in your video! :) edit: I am very gratefull for your videos!
Thanks Naomi , you are on a long journey both of learning and gaining valuable experience, but you have a desire to succeed and this desire and followed by hard work will give you success..👏👏👏👏
Impressive. Just stumbled onto this. Have been e enjoying your music for awhile. Have always wondered about your videography. Nicely done! Now I know why. Keep up the good work! prends soin de toi
That's why I love the harp. It's really soothing. Played the violin, got discouraged (super rigid intructor) never touched it again. Not on paino. Which is a pretty decent instrument. Can be soothing and nice, can be deep, can be both. Of course, it all depends on what you are playing. Well, I'm just playing cause I like beautiful music lol nothing else in particular. 1yr self taught piano now. If I can only play the harp.. but well.. I'm a dude 😅 I just love how it sounds.. don't like to play it though. "Maybe" but not counting on it lol. I'll just rely on your channel 😃
Super! Je suis tombée par hasard sur tes vidéos, et j'étais contente de découvrir tes origines québécoises. Toujours le fun voir jusqu'où on rayonne, nous les Gaulois et Gauloises ;) J'adore la musique, ton humilité et ton sens d'humeur. Et le fait que tu appel des chevreuils avec la harpe. Bonne continuation.
Really want to thank Naomi for motivating me to try and learn to play music. Couldn't find a Harp even after lot of research but kept the motivation given by her alive and ordered a Yamaha PSR i500 Keyboard 🎹 online. It will be delivered on coming Monday. I hope for a humble beginning so that atleast some creative side of life I am able to experience..🤞
I love this Q&A when will you do a second one? I wonder for how long have you been playing the harp and how do you travel with it. Also what did you study to be a video producer? I think you are such an inspiring person, artistic in many different ways!
Thank you! Perhaps I’ll do another Q&A when I reach 100 patrons. But until then, to answer your questions: - I’ve been playing the harp since December 2019. I have travelled with the harp before, but I most often play and record from home. - I studied film!
Maieuh je savais pas que tu étais québécoise ! Si j'avais si je me serais pas cassé la tête je me serais pas cassé la tête commenter en Anglais xD C'était vraiment super d'en savoir plus sur toi au delà que tu joue de la harpe et de ton affinité prononcée pour les cerfs :p C'était vraiment intéressant et ça montre vraiment qu'il y a une personne très vibrante derrière tout ça ! Bravo pour ta première année sur RUclips, et je t'en souhaite beaucoup d'autres ! Surtout que des gens avec autant de passion, d'application, et de créativité sont rares sur RUclips :)
Love. The shirt changes are amazing. The Careless Whisper video is a masterpiece. Fully agree about The Office. Would love to hear you cover 'Song For Jesse' by Nick and Warren. Thank you for all the gorgeous music.
Thank you so much! My favourites from the Jesse James soundtrack are "All Things Beautiful" and "Mary's Song", neither of which are part of the official soundtrack, sadly...
@@johndavidlevy7 I think that's the one I know under the name "All Things Beautiful"! Crazy that they would leave it out of the soundtrack, it's so lovely. I'm due to rewatch the film soon. It has some of my all-time favourite cinematography. Those vintage lenses are to die for...
@@NaomiSV - Yes! That is the same piece of music. Just so lovely and like many tracks on that score, at times a bit overwhelmingly beautiful. To imagine a rendition on harp is...(sigh).Probably one of my most viewed favorites. Criterion Collection really needs to add it to their catalog. Yes! The cinematographer is so stunning! So inspiring! The narration is right up there with the best like Barry Lyndon.
One must admire or stand awestruck by the incredible power of these gifted ones who’ve made culture move forward in triumph. This reads a bit “reich-ey”. Sorry. I’m really amazed by such incredible people and artists.
A harp is a healing instrument...Like when David played to King Saul it overcame the spirit of melancholy that was assailing him? A natural wood harp must be especially so. Like I like to play a classical guitar from rosewood and mahogany, etc. With the harp as with the guitar it is maybe the sound vibrations that are beneficial, providing of course that the harp is played with sensitivity...Maybe you agree? Christmas blessings 🍎🍊🧀🍰🫖🍷🎄🎶🖋x ❤
Have you ever tried playing your electric harp through a Leslie speaker? Effects pedals are cool, but a big, spinning speaker does something special to the sound.
New to this channel - random RUclips feed. Fourth video watched. Speaking for her neighbors: it isn't the late night harp music, it is the deer pest problems that started when she moved in. 😁 Okay - sure multi skilled instrumentalist, but when she pulled out the plastic encased xylohone thing (not sure what it was - I'm mostly musically illiterate, though I might play percussions better than a chimp) - at that point she was just showing off! 😁 I have to subscribe just because of her broad skill sets, excellent execution, and positive content (and my deer fetish - did I type that out loud - crap). 👍
The violin & cello are 2 of my favorite instruments. Some of my absolute favorite music is hard rock/heavy metal played on strings, & classical played on an electric guitar… Moonlight Sonata played on electric guitar is amazing, just like your cover of Sound of Silence on the harp.
I'm glad there is finally a Q&A video, it reveal more about you and allow us get a glimpse of your personality, and it's colorful :D Edit : *spoiler* OUCH! that ending
I can relate to fragments of original music. I have yet to finish a piece, though. Just joined your channel and love it. I am starting to explore wanting to learn playing the harp too. Will check out Christy Lynn and the others. Merci!
@@NaomiSV Évidemment le chevreuil comme premier indice, mais surtout les paysages très québécois... La lumière dans New York | St. Vincent est la même que celle qui éclairait mon balcon à l'époque où j'habitais Mtl. Et encore une fois, merci bcp pour ta belle énergie! 🙏
@@NaomiSV Le chaos montréalais est une expérience très électroacoustique et peut-être un peu casse-gueule aussi pour la logistique... Mais sait-on jamais et bonne chance!😉
I, and all The Little People of Stonehenge 😎 *love* the “T-shirt That Goes To ‘11’ “! 🤣 Hadn’t watched one of your Q&As before, and it was very entertaining and enlightening 🙂. From the backgrounds, I had thought you were maybe in Upstate New York … make that *way* “upstate” LOL! Loved the bit about “different instruments inspire you to play / approach differently” - I have noticed that myself, not only different instruments, but with all the strange garbage I’ve been known to do with guitar effects-pedals (yes, I am a “Philistine” 😎 that way). You mention Emily Sanzaro (love her “Seven Nation Army” ❤️!) and her use of pedals, and it put me in mind of something I cooked-up with my Zoom 606: I was trying to create a “super-12-string” sound (all strings in octaves), and used the octaver, light chorus, and (I think) a reel-flanger. The result is astounding: Not only is the sound incredibly lush (naturally), but “something *happened*” with all the intermingling frequencies - out of nowhere, there is a chorus of what sounds like human female voices “singing” along 😮! Most unbelievable - can you imagine what one of your harps would sound like through a patch like that 😁❤️🎶? I only mention this because you had mentioned elsewhere that you were thinking of following Emily’s lead and giving “stomp-boxes” a go. Think octavers and choruses, when you do 😁! I need to go look at my notebook (yes, I keep one, in case I accidentally wipe-out the programming on the 606) to verify exactly what I did, and in what sequence (that matters, with effects), and I’ll write back. Mind you, this is *not* a MIDI or any other kind of synthesis, just a genuine phenomenon of pure *sound*! 🎶🥰 P.S. Totally adore your Hirschfeld-like profile-pic 😁❤️! One of *your* drawings?

Thank you for bringing us RUclips viewers a beautiful channel to escape to.
As a huge Tolkien fan, I have to say that once I've heard your music, your voice and seen your face, my first thought was "This must be Tinúviel!" and you bear more than a passing resemblance to Edith Bratt, the one who inspired the character. I've always felt that the harp has an almost magical, ethereal quality that is unmatched save by a very few instruments.
Speaking of which, a cover of a Middle-Earth song would be nice! We quite agree with you @Elurin.

Sheesh I was near the end of the video before I read your shirt and laughed out loud for real. Love it. Thank you for the music and videos.
That harp drop at the end was hilarious
Haha thankfully the harp survived
@@NaomiSV the fact that you left it in the video probably means you are trying to send a subtle message. 🤔 What could that be? Probably don't depend on harp playing? 🤔
I’ve done that a couple of times before with my tuba. I almost had a heart attack over it!
@@NaomiSV 'thankfully the harp survived'.... Meaning if you survive doing harp, you should thank God, the harp survived but the harpist.....
Hmmm 🤔

I've been obsessed with harps for a loong time, this encourages me to try and learn to play myself (as a very bad pianist and singer).

C'était vraiment super d'en savoir plus sur toi au delà que tu joue de la harpe et de ton affinité prononcée pour les cerfs :p C'était vraiment intéressant et ça montre vraiment qu'il y a une personne très vibrante derrière tout ça !
Bravo pour ta première année sur RUclips, et je t'en souhaite beaucoup d'autres ! Surtout que des gens avec autant de passion, d'application, et de créativité sont rares sur RUclips :)
Du coup je vais en profiter pour me précipiter sur ron Patreon parce que j'y suis pas encore, c'est un scandale
Haha, pourtant avec ton nom, j'aurais cru que tu étais anglo! Merci pour ce commentaire et tous ces souhaits!
Love. The shirt changes are amazing. The Careless Whisper video is a masterpiece. Fully agree about The Office. Would love to hear you cover 'Song For Jesse' by Nick and Warren. Thank you for all the gorgeous music.
Thank you so much! My favourites from the Jesse James soundtrack are "All Things Beautiful" and "Mary's Song", neither of which are part of the official soundtrack, sadly...
@@NaomiSV - One of my favorite soundtracks, love both this tracks. Also love ‘Water Song’ which is also not on the the official soundtrack.
@@johndavidlevy7 I think that's the one I know under the name "All Things Beautiful"! Crazy that they would leave it out of the soundtrack, it's so lovely. I'm due to rewatch the film soon. It has some of my all-time favourite cinematography. Those vintage lenses are to die for...
@@NaomiSV - Yes! That is the same piece of music. Just so lovely and like many tracks on that score, at times a bit overwhelmingly beautiful. To imagine a rendition on harp is...(sigh).Probably one of my most viewed favorites. Criterion Collection really needs to add it to their catalog. Yes! The cinematographer is so stunning! So inspiring! The narration is right up there with the best like Barry Lyndon.
I really liked your shirt collections matched with topics.
Thank you!
This is how such videos should be made.
it's like 12tone but instead of drawing the things she wears a shirt
Ton accent Français est adorable !
Penses tu un jour faire une cover du thème principal de Skyrim ?
I love harp so much it's nice to hear.
One must admire or stand awestruck by the incredible power of these gifted ones who’ve made culture move forward in triumph. This reads a bit “reich-ey”. Sorry. I’m really amazed by such incredible people and artists.
A harp is a healing instrument...Like when David played to King Saul it overcame the spirit
of melancholy that was assailing him? A natural wood harp must be especially so. Like I
like to play a classical guitar from rosewood and mahogany, etc. With the harp as with the
guitar it is maybe the sound vibrations that are beneficial, providing of course that the harp
is played with sensitivity...Maybe you agree? Christmas blessings 🍎🍊🧀🍰🫖🍷🎄🎶🖋x ❤
Your voice is pretty soothing like ASMR!
And you are really beautiful.
Have you ever tried playing your electric harp through a Leslie speaker? Effects pedals are cool, but a big, spinning speaker does something special to the sound.
New to this channel - random RUclips feed. Fourth video watched.
Speaking for her neighbors: it isn't the late night harp music, it is the deer pest problems that started when she moved in. 😁
Okay - sure multi skilled instrumentalist, but when she pulled out the plastic encased xylohone thing (not sure what it was - I'm mostly musically illiterate, though I might play percussions better than a chimp) - at that point she was just showing off! 😁
I have to subscribe just because of her broad skill sets, excellent execution, and positive content (and my deer fetish - did I type that out loud - crap). 👍
Lovely Channel I’m proud of you
Thank you for this QnA apisod. ♥️
Oh gosh, yes, that´s your voice. Beeeeautiful !!!!
The violin & cello are 2 of my favorite instruments. Some of my absolute favorite music is hard rock/heavy metal played on strings, & classical played on an electric guitar… Moonlight Sonata played on electric guitar is amazing, just like your cover of Sound of Silence on the harp.
Youre so pretty and talented always watching all your videos feeling im out off this world peace and freely. Thank you so much god bless.
It is absolutely infuriating that someone can be so talented in so many areas.
Thanks/sorry/aww
Your shirt switches are just awesome. Almost like a jump cut :P.
Videos are just an excuse for different outfits!
How can a person be talented in so many levels. Envy, Love, Respect. A potpourri of emotions. Thank you for the music.
I'm glad there is finally a Q&A video, it reveal more about you and allow us get a glimpse of your personality, and it's colorful :D
Edit : *spoiler*
OUCH! that ending
"these are difficult times" omg lol music humor is awesome.
I can relate to fragments of original music. I have yet to finish a piece, though. Just joined your channel and love it. I am starting to explore wanting to learn playing the harp too. Will check out Christy Lynn and the others. Merci!
Tu as une belle énergie et merci bcp pour tous tes videos Noémie! PS: j'étais certain que tu étais Québecoise et voilà!🙏❤👍
Merci! Qu’est-ce qui t’a fait penser que j’étais québécoise (avant de m’entendre parler)?
@@NaomiSV Évidemment le chevreuil comme premier indice, mais surtout les paysages très québécois... La lumière dans New York | St. Vincent est la même que celle qui éclairait mon balcon à l'époque où j'habitais Mtl. Et encore une fois, merci bcp pour ta belle énergie! 🙏
Je n’ai pas encore essayé de filmer quelque chose dehors à Montréal! Il faudrait trouver un coin pas trop bruyant.
@@NaomiSV Le chaos montréalais est une expérience très électroacoustique et peut-être un peu casse-gueule aussi pour la logistique... Mais sait-on jamais et bonne chance!😉
Thank you so much 🌷
I, and all The Little People of Stonehenge 😎 *love* the “T-shirt That Goes To ‘11’ “! 🤣 Hadn’t watched one of your Q&As before, and it was very entertaining and enlightening 🙂. From the backgrounds, I had thought you were maybe in Upstate New York … make that *way* “upstate” LOL! Loved the bit about “different instruments inspire you to play / approach differently” - I have noticed that myself, not only different instruments, but with all the strange garbage I’ve been known to do with guitar effects-pedals (yes, I am a “Philistine” 😎 that way). You mention Emily Sanzaro (love her “Seven Nation Army” ❤️!) and her use of pedals, and it put me in mind of something I cooked-up with my Zoom 606: I was trying to create a “super-12-string” sound (all strings in octaves), and used the octaver, light chorus, and (I think) a reel-flanger. The result is astounding: Not only is the sound incredibly lush (naturally), but “something *happened*” with all the intermingling frequencies - out of nowhere, there is a chorus of what sounds like human female voices “singing” along 😮! Most unbelievable - can you imagine what one of your harps would sound like through a patch like that 😁❤️🎶? I only mention this because you had mentioned elsewhere that you were thinking of following Emily’s lead and giving “stomp-boxes” a go. Think octavers and choruses, when you do 😁! I need to go look at my notebook (yes, I keep one, in case I accidentally wipe-out the programming on the 606) to verify exactly what I did, and in what sequence (that matters, with effects), and I’ll write back. Mind you, this is *not* a MIDI or any other kind of synthesis, just a genuine phenomenon of pure *sound*! 🎶🥰 P.S. Totally adore your Hirschfeld-like profile-pic 😁❤️! One of *your* drawings? (Now that I know you do visual art, also) - Steve / Mesa, Arizona, United States
This is my first time listening to your voice. You are stunning just like ❤️ you're musical composition
Soothing music on my downtime in the laboratory
Your video and music can last forever!
I enjoy your channel. Thanks
Très belle présentation de ta vie musicale. Totalement naturelle et spontanée (so it seems!), vivante, instructive. Bon succès pour la suite, Naomi
Merci beaucoup!
