Exciting news!  I'm pleased to announce that version 1.1 of our Harp Center 2012-2013 Catalog is now available in e-Book format.  You can download our expanded catalog at www.harpcenter.com/ecatalog and read it at your leisure on your iPad, smart phone, Kindle, or other e-Book reader.  I've added extra content that is not in our printed catalog, and you can click on the hyperlinks and be taken directly to that item on our website.

I've learned so much in the hundreds of hours it has taken me to get this first e-Catalog ready for you. I will be tweaking and adding more content in the coming weeks and months. I'll also update prices and add new products as they become available. Each time there is a change to the e-Catalog version, it will have a new version number and date.

Visit www.harpcenter.com/ecatalog to download your copy and start reading!

NEW CONTEST 

Creating the e-Catalog version 1.1 has been a huge project for me, so there are bound to be mistakes, broken links, and typos.  I apologize in advance for any errors. 

If you find a mistake, please let me know; you might win a $100 Sylvia Woods Harp Center E-Gift Certificate!  

 

If you find a broken link, typo, or a mistake in our e-Catalog version 1.1 (or future versions), send an email to contest@harpcenter.com and let me know what you found.  For every "bug" you report, you'll get one chance in our drawing. The first week of January 2013 we'll draw one name from all of the entries. We'll notify the winner by email, and send them a $100 e-Gift Certificate that they can spend on any of the wonderful products on our website. They will also be featured in an up-coming e-Mail Newsletter.  When submitting your report to contest@harpcenter.com, please let me know what e-Reader you are using, and the version number of our e-Catalog.  

 

P.S. Please don't submit formatting issues that are consistent throughout the e-Catalog. These cannot be fixed, as they are just the nature of eBook readers. I have no control over spacing, paging, fonts, and how the photos look in relation to the text. Thanks for your help!

winnerReview-It winner

 

This month's Review-It winner is Sarah Kay from Temecula, California for her review of the contemporary Christmas sheet music Mary, Did You Know?  arranged by Sylvia Woods. 

Mary Did You Know sheet music "This beautiful song is gently arranged and has a wonderful sound. The words are absolutely lovely and very thought provoking and the arrangement is excellent. I really enjoy playing this piece on Christmas Eve or in other meditative holiday settings. A very nice addition to a repertoire!"

Sarah Kay Here's what Sarah Kay told us about herself.

 "We purchased my Dusty Strings FH36 lever harp from the Sylvia Woods Harp Center and I have been playing for 6 years. When I was seven, I saw a harpist playing at a fancy hotel and decided that was the instrument I wanted to play. My parents were surprised and insisted that I finish my piano course to gain a solid musical foundation.   At twelve years old I was excited to be playing harp and moved through the elementary levels quickly, beginning to perform about a year and a half later. Over the years I have performed at various events including weddings, parties, boutiques, art shows, and ceremonies.   In the summer of 2010 I recorded my first CD, By Request, which features traditional and contemporary harp music by various composers and arrangers. This autumn a new CD, Great Joy: Harp Music for the Christmas Season, was released and it features six of my arrangements as well as music by other composers.   I love performing and sharing the joyful music of the harp with many people. Christmas is one of my busiest seasons and also one of my favorites. Christmas carols are wonderful music and I love it! The opportunities to meet people and share joyful music are things that I enjoy doing." - Sarah Kay
