I've been learning harp for just about two years now (lever harp, with a local teacher), and play about an hour or two every day. I love it and have made so much progress, but I still don't feel as fast or consistent as I want to be (my harp teacher estimates I'd be around grade 4 abrsm). So, I'm curious to hear from other adult learners — how long did it take you to feel fairly proficient on the harp and what was your journey like? How long until you felt confident to play long pieces in front of an audience? To play faster or more technically complicated pieces?
