: Hi all.
: I'm just a beginner but this may be helpful to a few. I made some advances in learning to bend notes by using a tuner, either an electronic guitar tuner or a computer program (I have used TuneIt, from http://www.zeta.org.au/~dvolkmer/tuneit.html ). By getting immediate visual feedback, it's easier to isolate helpful mouth/tongue/jaw placements to hit bent notes. I've got lots of work to do on it still but this has helped a lot. I guess it's a form of biofeedback like in sports training.
: Has anyone else found this method successful or helpful? What do more experienced harpists think?
: Regards,

Greetings Dean,
That's a great Idea, and good to share. I've used my guitar tuner in the same way and it is very helpful.
Merry Christmas!
Bill
