Last year, Elvin and Eliana attended a concert by a master harpist. Ever since, Eliana has been fascinated by the harp and claims that she wants to learn how to play the harp. We are not sure we want to head in that direction.
However, Elvin has a co-worker who is an avid harp player and owns several harps. She invited the girls to come over and play a little bit.
Karina wanted to try it out and got to pluck some strings. This is a smaller harp that is designed to sit on one's lap. It was just the right size for Karina.
She was content to pluck away.
Since Eliana already knows how to play the piano, Elvin's co-worker showed Eliana which string corresponded to the middle C, and proceeded to teach Eliana how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the harp.
It was a very special treat to play such beautiful (and expensive) instruments. After about an hour, we had to go, but not before Karina stopped at a glass case and admired the co-worker's beautiful glass collection.
