Hi Everyone!
I'm Derek, a beginner Harpist from Canada. I post my journey learning the harp and hope that my videos help you relax, unwind and enjoy harp music. I play both Pedal and Celtic harp, my pedal harp is a Salvi Aurora and my lever harp is a Dusty Strings Crescendo.
Happy Harping!
Derek

Beautiful!!!! I have the very same arrangement- and have yet to play it as beautifully as you🦋💕🦋. Thank You!!!
Thanks so much PJ, learning the harp did a fantastic arrangement didn’t they?
This was really lovely
My thoughts exactly
Thanks so much Evan!
That was lovely!
Thank you!
Really Nice!
Thanks!
Oh wow, that was really awesome! Such an amazing game, it really brought back memories.
Right!? This was one of the first games I played as a kid
If you're interested in Samantha's music here is the link to her KZread page: www.youtube.com/@SamanthaBallard
Thanks!
Hmm not sure if this arrangement is available
Oh! I recall Samantha saying that Nintendo has removed some of their licensing. Hopefully it’s resolved soon!
@@derekharpson Oh that's a shame, oh well. Next time for sure
Omg this was so great to listen too. Brought me right back to playing the game. I love it thank you for sharing
Thanks so much steph!

Wow, a beautiful version of a beautiful song
Thanks so much! It’s definitely one the house has been humming all day
So inspiring and beautiful - especially the glissandos! Thank you for sharing your talents, Derek❤
Thank you so much Jennifer, I really appreciate the kind words
Beautifully played! 👏 What harp are you playing, if I may ask?
Thanks so much. My harp is a Salvo Aurora, I absolutely love and highly recommend them
Great Job! I love this one too!
Thanks!
Really lovely rendition!
Thanks for listening
Ahh that was so good. I loved it. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks so much Steph!
Awesome job! I'm practising this one now and it's harder than it looks! Lots of stuff to work on. But it's fun. It's especially interesting that you can put your own solo in it and I really enjoyed hearing what you came up with.
Completely agree, it’s a lot more challenging than it initially looks. I didn’t know a lot about music theory at the time of recording but it was fun to be creative. I hope you’re enjoying learning the piece
Derek, this was so beautiful and heartwarming
Thanks so much Jenet! So kind
Beautiful harping and video. Always a pleasure to tune in.
Thank you so much Connie!
What a lovely rendition. I 'm learning this from Ailie. And I love the young in the visual❤Thank You.✌🏽
Thanks so much Paula! It’s such an amazing piece isn’t it?
@@derekharpson Yes, I really love it .I'm playing the simple verision, I a friend and I are going to try for a duet with this piece. Oh, I meant to say I love the young women in the visual. ✌🏽🕊
Wow, Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice Derek. Where can one get that music? I wasn't able to find it online.
Of course, here it is! www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/product%2Fthe-rose-22012489.html
@derekharpson Thank you Derek. This didn't come up when I searched sheetmusicplus, and when I clicked your link it goes to the correct page, but says it is unavailable. I wonder if availability is restricted to certain countries? I'll call them tomorrow to try to find out. Keep on harping. I enjoy your videos.
That was beautiful to listen to. Thank you for sharing it. Such a great choice for mother's day
Thanks so much Steph!
Lovely, perfect for Mother's Day
Thanks a lot 😊
Wow, so beautiful!

Beautiful .... Where can I find this sheet music ?
Thanks so much Mary Sue! This piece is in Kim Robertson’s Celtic Harp Solos book, which has so many great pieces
Looks like you have the same harp as I do, you play it beautifully, gentle and relaxed.
Thank you so much! I love my Salvi Aurora
Very nice Derek👌! My daughter's music sir recommended this song for practice yesterday, my little girl is enjoying this video - From Goa, India😎
Thanks so much Goa! I’m sure your daughter will play it wonderfully
That was beautifully played Derek. Thank you

Beautiful - it really sounded like a rainbow, Derek♥ thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much Jennifer! That’s so kind of you to say
Beautifully played Derek. I really love your video editing also with Dorothy in the background - I have no idea how to do that element!!
Thanks so much! I mostly use iMovie since that’s what’s on my laptop and I mostly learn from KZread videos. Happy to link a few that I found helpful if you like!
@@derekharpson thank you so much but I wouldn't want to remove from your harp playing so will explore what you have advised in the meantime. Looking forward to hearing your next piece. Mine is Mad World by Tears for Fears :)
Beautifully played! 🥰
Thank you kindly!
I loved listening to it. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Steph!
So sweet and gently played! Thank you, Derek!
Thanks so much Debbie!
This was one of the first songs I learned, still love it. Well done!
