Hello,

I have been playing the piano for 21 years and I took a piano diploma 7 years ago. I have been teaching piano for two years, the first year in a private school.
I have been singing in choirs for 7 years during my conservatory time and it is two years that I have started again. Right now I am in two choirs, one of which it is a medieval-renaissance choir.

I have been recently experienced playing the celtic harp. Really nice and not so hard to learn instrument!

Ooh, Celtic Harp.  I don't play, but sounds fun hehe.  So I'm assuming its similar to the irish lever harp?  Bet it's a nice instrument, but I'd think it'd be tricky to write for since you have to be careful with sharps/flats due to how the harp is tuned and played. Had an acquaintance mention that while playing, on any given note, you could only go sharp or flat, but not in the other direction. (hence, I've not actually written specifically for that instrument.....yet...*cough*) I'd assume modal sounding would work well though. Eh, anyways, I'll end the gush/rant by saying celtic and gaelic music/instruments are probably one of my favorite genres in music. ^_^

Oh, and to add, since I totally forgot to put include this, I did sing in college choir for a year or two before things got busy.  I'm a baritone or 2nd bass, whatever you wanna call it. :)

A celtic harp.. well, I would say it is just smaller than an irish lever harp, but similar as "structure".
As the matter of fact, also for the celtic harp you write music basically in C major or F major, because otherwise you have to return totally your harp. However, there are somes that have keys that let switch tone quite easily.
