  • Wow....you inspire me to practice more. Just a question, how many hours a day do you practice, on average?

  • I am glad you like it, it is a really fun piece to play. Normally I practice for about an hour a day but if I have any concerts or events coming up I have to do more as the event get closer! In the weeks before the Concourse de harpe Lily Laskine I had to do two hours or more a day but it was well worth it!

  • Not enough words to describe such beauty, ecoustic and visual.

  • Il Papagallo, Souvenir of Naples is one of three compositions written by Elias Parish Alvars during his visit to Naples in the winter of 1843/1844. It is about a pet parrot who keeps interrupting a beautiful serenade. Unfortunately there is an electronic beeping sound during this piece - not the parrot but a fault on the fire alarm system in the building!! This music was published in 2008 by Adlais Music Publishers to mark the 200 Anniversary of the birth of Parish Alvars.

  • wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

    i give merit not only to this boy but also to his trainer. i also think that we must develop our children's talent in a more meaningful way, like playing the harp, piano, violin, and other high-class talent like ballet, opera, theater arts, etc.

    my prayers for the success of this wonder boy!

  • Love it! 5 stars ! Keep on the good work!

  • It's really too beautifull.

    "Quel bonheur"
