Aoife's Groove -Matthew Tran-Adams

Aoife's Groove (pronounced ee-fa) is a latin piece I wrote for lever harp about 10 years ago. I'm excited to present it on my new Silhouette electric harp.

How did you adjust your strap so it's comfortable to play? I have a Silhouette and the strap puts too much weight on my back.

[WorldComposer]

@uspsdawn Keep the strap around your waist as low as you can. At first I had it too high and it was hurting my back . . . but the lower you can get it around your waist, the more the weight is on your legs. Does that help?

What kind of amp do you use?

[WorldComposer]

@uspsdawn At this point I'm not using an amp. I have everything plugged into a sound system for recording. I think it will be tricky to pick an amp because we will need something that can handle both the bass and the treble without getting muddy.

Cool!!! I see you bought a Lyon&Healy Silhouette!!!

[WorldComposer]

@Malawi01 Yes, I did. Thanks, your videos help me to decide. :)

[Arfasound]

I like it! I want to play it!!!!

[uspsdawn]

Yes, that helped. I still find it easiest to play on the stand. Thanks!

Hey there, I need to know how to get your composition for my daughter whom I am trying very hard to keep interested in her music and she is wanting to go more jazz! It is just that we have only lever harps and I am having to search high and low for somewhat simple lever harp jazz compositions. Will you let me know how to aquire this from you? God Bless,
