The harp is a stringed musical instrument that has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard. The strings are
plucked with the fingers. Harps have been known since antiquity in Asia, Africa and Europe, dating back at least
as early as 3000 BCE. The instrument had great popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, where it evolved
into a wide range of variants with new technologies, and was disseminated to Europe’s colonies, finding particular popularity
in Latin America. Although some ancient members of the harp family died out in the Near East and South Asia,
descendants of early harps are still played in Myanmar and parts of Africa, and other defunct variants in Europe and Asia
have been utilized by musicians in the modern era.
“Who would like to understand music doesn´t need the sense of hearing, but the heart.”
“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence in between.”
The real and strong love to music is something that cannot be learnt or bought. It´s a gift which even if it´s endowed,
it has to be worked out to reach thetarget. A person has to go through the years of diligent work,
which hide long hoursof rehearsing and a big stamina. Without these personality traits it would be impossible.
It is said that a mirror helps us to see our face, but thanks to art we cansee our soul. I´m very pleased
to be so lucky that I soon found myself in my profession. I can´t imagine my life without it. The things are sometimes not
easy in our lifes and my primary aim is to spread joy, happiness and caress the souls even in the days of sadness.
