Harpist, soloist, collaborator (Harlem Chamber Players), educator, and arranger Ashley Jackson's brand new album is called Take Me To The Water.  In the American spiritual tradition, water is a powerful metaphor for freedom and for moving from this life to the next. Jackson's record takes listeners on a watery journey through works by Debussy, the jazz harpist Alice Coltrane, blues, and some classic spirituals. As Jackson declares in a statement about the record, ”Water is something that we all need. It sustains us, it gives us life. Take Me to the Water reminds us we have a choice: we can let water be the thing that divides us, or, it can allow us to come together through our shared humanity.” She plays some of her arrangements of spirituals on a sculpted maple harp, in-studio. Set list: 1. River Jordan 2. Deep River II 3. Take Me to the Water I

Harpist Meredith McCrindle was in Northern Colorado for a few weeks this winter, visiting her parents on an extended trip away from her transplanted home in Ayr, Scotland.  For a portion of the trip, her close friend Jai McDowall joined her - his first time in Colorado.  I met Meredith when she was at our Rotary Club one morning, promoting her upcoming concert with Jai in Fort Collins.  She agreed (and voluntold Jai) to come on the show, and it was a lot of fun!Meredith's album, When Walls Speak, is a study on Dumfries House - home to King Charles when he's in Scotland, and where she has been resident harpist for many years.  She's also resident harpist for Trump Turnberry, Glen App Castle, Culzean Castle and more - if you need an amazing harpist in Scotland, or around Europe and the world, you'd be wise to call on her.  She's also the founder of a festival called Tamfest, a serial entrepreneur, and a business consultant!  Jai McDowall grew up in music, and performed on stage with his father going back to his teenage years.  After he won Britain's Got Talent in 2011, his life changed forever - and he caught amazing traction during his first year.  When he went independent however, he had much to learn.  Equipped with Meredith's friendship and insights for business, he's crafted an extraordinary world-ranging career from those first opportunities, and he's a great case study on how talent alone - isn't enough!  Inspiring and entertaining as always, and this time with one of the world's most famous harpists, plus a friendly baritone with a fun Scottish accent.  Enjoy.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Logistics Co-op | https://logisticscoop.com/

Today's episode focuses on the music of harpist, singer and composer Sophia Dussek. It is partly music history, partly harp history and partly harp technique. But it's really about connection. I want to help you feel a connection to our roots, to some of the musical and harp traditions that aren't merely history, but are part of the fabric of our daily harp playing.  There's an African proverb that says,”Walk like you have 3000 ancestors walking behind you.” We harpists so often feel that we're all alone on our journey. The truth is that we are only the newest leaves on a tree with many other branches full of other leaves, a tree whose roots were formed long ago. Every time we play, we are continuing the traditions of those harpists, so it makes sense to learn a little bit about them. The things we learn about our roots can help us connect to the music we are learning today in a deeper way. That's why I chose “connection” as the fifth of the five growth areas I identified in my book, Kaleidoscope Practice: Focus, Finish and Play the Way You've Always Wanted. When you take time, even occasionally, to enrich and enlarge your musical experience that is apart from your playing, you bring more understanding and dimension to everything you play. And in today's podcast, I will help you make those connections between the music of 200 years ago and the music that you're playing now. So today our musical “way back machine” will take us to the turn of the nineteenth century when harp playing had yet to be eclipsed in the drawing room by the piano. Picture any screen adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” you've ever seen, and you will have the right atmosphere. In fact, our heroine for today, Sophia Corri Dussek, was born in the same year as the author Jane Austen. So put on your best muslin frock and we'll get going.

A little while back, I did a podcast episode about the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and why I believe studying and playing that music is so important for harpists. If you want to go back and listen to that episode, it is Episode 154, and I will put a link to that episode in the show notes. Understandably, after that podcast aired, I was asked why I was emphasizing the music of Bach who didn't write anything that we know of for harp, when there are brilliant harp composers whose music we could study. I agree that studying music written for the harp is important for every harpist. But the music of Bach has been considered foundational for generations of music students, and it's no less important for us harpists. In fact, it is precisely because Bach didn't write for harp that we need to be extra-intentional about including his music in our studies.  There is a drawback, however. The difficulty factor of much of his music makes it inaccessible to beginning students, and beginning students, particularly adult beginners, could benefit so much from studying his music. So today, I have three goals. First, I'll show you what you can learn, even as a beginner harpist, from Bach's music and I'll demonstrate how you can learn it. Second, I'll share a practice page that you can use as a warm-up or for more practice on this material. And most importantly, in the course of our time together today, I want to help you connect with the beauty in Bach's music. Even though he never wrote anything for harp, he surely did write music that is beautiful, even transcendent, when it's played on the harp.   Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Download your free Bach Study Sheet PDF Related resource 3 Bach Pieces Every Harpist Should Know and Why podcast Get the Harp Mastery® app for iPhone and iPad Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!

The sonically innovative harpist, Brandee Younger, is revolutionizing harp for the digital era. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists.  In 2022, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award and later, the winner of the 2024 NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding Jazz Album for her latest album Brand New Life.  Ever-expanding as an artist, she has worked with cultural icons including Common, Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Pharoah Sanders and Christian McBride.   Her original composition “Hortense” was featured in the Netflix Concert-Documentary, Beyoncé: Homecoming and in 2019, Brandee was selected to perform her original music as a featured performer for Quincy Jones and Steve McQueens' “Soundtrack of America”.  Brandee is often noted for standing on the shoulders of the very women who ushered in the harp as a clear and distinct voice in jazz & popular styles - particularly Detroit natives Dorothy Ashby & Alice Coltrane.  Her new album, Brand New Life, builds on her already rich oeuvre, and cements the harp's place in pop culture.  As the title of the album suggests, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic, personal, political, and spiritual.  Younger's music is imbued with a sense of purpose and respect of legacy, creating a larger platform for the harp to reach newer and wider audiences than ever before.  In addition to teaching at Steinhardt, Younger holds leadership positions as a board member of The Coltrane Home and New Music USA.Maggie speaks with Brandee at the 67 Monterey Jazz Festival about her band and her association with Alice Coltrane and  The Year of Alice.“No harpist thus far has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions — from Salzedo, through Dorothy Ashby, through Alice Coltrane — with such strength, grace and commitment.” -  The New York TimesFollow: @harpistaSource: https://brandeeyounger.com/Source:https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/brandee-youngerSource: https://thecoltranehome.org/2024/03/16/let-the-year-of-alice-begin/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Ten years ago, I wrote a small book. It was my response to the frustration I observed some harpists experiencing. These harpists were diligent in their practice and dedicated to doing everything right. But they still weren't able to play their music the way they wanted. Some told me that they just couldn't get the notes, the fingering and the placing correct. Others said they couldn't get their music anywhere near an appropriate tempo. Some couldn't look at their hands and the music at the same time. Others couldn't make their music flow. And none of them seemed to be able to discover a solution to their problem. I started asking harpists questions, in order to find out a little more about what the real source of each of the issues might be. What I discovered was that, although the symptoms manifested differently in each individual, there was really only one problem, one that all of them shared. No one had ever told them how to practice. What I discovered in my own harp journey was that practice really wasn't about what I thought it was. It isn't enough just to play something over and over again until it's right. The goal of practice isn't perfection; it's music. When your practice isn't helping you make music, you can be pretty sure you're doing it wrong.  The right kind of practice starts with the right kind of focus. I'm not talking about mindset or concentration. I'm talking about practicing for the results you want, the results that are more than the right notes, results like flow, expression and musicality.  That was the starting point for my book. Kaleidoscope Practice: Focus, Finish and Play the Way You've Always Wanted. I used the word focus to describe five focus areas which can serve to direct your practice so that you can actually play the music you start. I'd like to explain those focus areas to you today and give you some of my favorite practice tweaks that may revolutionize the way you think about your practice, the way they revolutionized mine.

Oakland Composer and Harpist Destiny Muhammad Has Always Charted Her Own Path Sitting on stage with her harp resting in her lap, Destiny Muhammad repeats this mantra: “Excellence, Beauty, and Success.” It's part mic-check and part pump-up. When she first started learning to play the harp, the Oakland-based composer and musician used to suffer from stage fright. Now, more than 30 years later, she commands the stage with a presence fit for a woman who calls herself the “sound sculptress.” As part of our series on California composers, KQED's Bianca Taylor brings us her story. The Pesky (But Lovable) Pine Native to the Northern CA Coast California is home to a lot of iconic trees, including giant sequoias, windswept Monterey cypresses, and Joshua trees. The bishop pine doesn't have that kind of celebrity status. But if you live on the Point Reyes Peninsula in west Marin County you're all too familiar with it. These indigenous trees are so well-suited to growing here, that to locals they're notorious pests, not because of how easily they grow, but because of how they die. The California Report's intern Lusen Mendel takes us to Tomales Bay State Park to meet someone who's made it his mission to deal with the pesky and strangely loveable, pines. Meeting Monarch the Grizzly Bear If you spend much time in the Sierra, you've probably been warned to look out for black bears. But there's another kind of bear that once roamed our state, one that's got a much bigger – and fiercer – reputation: the California grizzly. It's been 100 years since the extinction of the grizzly, but you can see one of the last of its kind, a bear named Monarch, up close at a new exhibit at San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences.

Johann Sebastian Bach is a name every musician knows. He is revered as a composer whose music defined musical practices in the Baroque era and whose compositions still influence music and musicians today. Learning about his music and learning to play his music is required study for any music major. But we harpists do feel a little neglected. We play one of the instruments that Bach did not write any music for. Of course, that doesn't stop us from borrowing extensively from his keyboard music, his violin and cello sonatas and partitas and his lute music. Much of Bach's music is well-suited to the harp with rippling scale passages or rich chords.  My first in-depth encounters with Bach's music were in my piano lessons when I was about 12 years old. My teacher was insistent about how the preludes and inventions I was studying should be played: how long each note should be, how the music was made up of melodies played together, or how the harmonies moved in progression. It was my first exposure to the real building blocks of music, besides simple key signatures and chords. Somehow Bach's music seemed to define and explain much of the rest of the music I encountered. In my studies in college, at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, I learned much more about the inner workings of Bach's compositions and the lasting impact it has had, not just in terms of the wealth of beautiful music he wrote, but also in the effects his music had on every composer since his time. What I want to share with you today is not simply how learning more about Bach will make you a better harpist and all-around musician, but specifically how three familiar pieces by Bach can work together to help you improve your finger agility and evenness, your chords, your melodic flow, and your understanding of a couple of key musical concepts.  You probably already know and play at least one of these pieces, and possibly all three. What I want you to come away with today is a new understanding of how these pieces are constructed and how to use this information to become an even better harpist.

I'm excited to have my sweet friend on the podcast this week, Megan Tibbits. She's an amazing singer, worshipper, harp player and artist.   Megan appeared before a national TV audience on ABC's Rising Star, advancing to the top 12, and released her debut album ‘Until I Fly' soon after. Since then, Megan has worked with artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Jonathan McReynolds, Danny Gokey, Brandon Heath & Marvin Winans Jr., and her videos have gotten the attention of artists such as Alicia Keys, Tauren Wells, etc. Most recently, Megan appeared as “The Harpist” on FOX's I Can See Your Voice and is soon to go on tour with author Bob Goff. She's much more than an artist but I loved getting to chat about the industry and worship and how to navigate some gray areas when it comes to leading God's people in something so holy. We explore the pressure to perform and the need to maintain a worshipful heart in all aspects of life because all of us have some kind of influence we've been called to steward. This is such a powerful conversation, and she brings such spiritual wisdom and that all can learn a great deal from!  Keep up with Megan:  http://megantibbits.com/ Let's Stay Connected:  Instagram: @itswhitneywood www.wisdomandwellnessww.com

Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews: Catherine Gairard Singer | Harpist | Composer |Model | Artist Biography Born in Peru into a low-middle-class family, I faced financial barriers that hindered formal music education. Undeterred, I dedicated myself to self-study, cultivating a passion for music that eventually became a driving force in my life. Early on, I showcased my artistic flair by participating in school events, be it through dance, reciting poems, acting, or singing. Guided by my father, an artist himself, I delved into the world of drawing. This early exposure laid the foundation for my artistic journey. The pursuit of theater studies followed, shaping my understanding of the performing arts. In 2014, I ventured to Europe, aspiring to forge a career in acting. However, the cultural transition proved challenging, and I found solace and direction during travels to the Netherlands and Spain. There, I embarked on a serious exploration of music, initially through free online courses and later under the guidance of private tutors in singing, harp, piano, composition, and music production. By 2023, I embraced a new chapter as a digital nomad, exploring Mexico and Greece. Currently, I am constructing my own campervan, a mobile haven for creating music while immersing myself in inspiring locales worldwide. Looking ahead, my sights are set on a program beginning in April 2024, steering me toward a career as a soundtrack composer for movies and video games. To foster a closer connection with my audience, I curate an exclusive online community, sharing more intimate aspects of my life. Through this, I aim to build a supportive space for fellow enthusiasts and those intrigued by my artistic journey.
