Playing Piano Music on the Harp

Harpists play many transcriptions of music written for other instruments, particularly piano. Hannah Lash believes that transcribing is incredibly important, and that harpists can always push themselves and their instruments further than they might imagine. When teaching transcription, she challenges students to bring in scores they might not feel are possible to play on the harp, and she helps them re-imagine the music to make it possible and comfortable on the harp.
