[musictlk] More questions about the autoharp

[Mary Donahue]

Hello Tara and everyone,

	Tara, I have a 21-chord autoharp, but have had a 15-chord one in the
past. I usually use a pick. The best way I can help is to press each chord
button when you are getting oriented to the layout of the chord buttons, and
memorize them. Once you have some songs in mind, try the chord layout in
your mind. If you make a mistake while you are learning the chord buttons,
that's okay. I've made plenty. I hope this helps.

	If you have any other questions, you can email me off list at the
following address:

braille at satx.rr.com

or you can call me in real time at (210) 826-9579.

	Again, I hope this helps.

Mary Donahue

Subject: [musictlk] More questions about the autoharp

Hi all! I just purchased an autoharp. I am way excited! I have been looking
on the Internet and I gather there are three ways to play the strings. You
can pluck it, you can strum  it, and you can pinch it. Can anyone explain
exactly how that works? Also, what is the fastest way to learn what button
please what court? Thanks for any help! I'm really looking forward to this!
My family gets together and plays music and I've always wanted to learn an
instrument so that I can accompany everyone. My heart belongs to the flute,
but I think this will be a really enjoyable thing to learn! Any  advice
would be more than welcome!
