Heather offers a short, honest reflection on the mindset that can make harp progress feel simpler and more satisfying: there isn’t only one “right” way. She shares how listening to your body, staying true to yourself, and letting go of perfection can unlock confidence at any age.

In this episode:

• The single mindset shift Heather wishes she’d had on day one

• Why there’s more than one right way to play

• How to listen to your body and adapt your setup

• Finding teachers who help you think from different angles

• Encouragement for adult beginners and returners

Host: Heather Downie - Harpist, Principal Scottish Harp Tutor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and founder of How To Harp
