I used to listen. For instance, when I first started playing the harp there were no electronic tuners; I had to learn to tune by ear.

I am convinced we harpists have lost some essential listening skills. What role does listening play in your daily practice? I believe listening is too often the last resort. On today’s show I suggest some practical strategies for making focused listening and informed musicianship part of your harp playing every day.
