Firework on Harp


This is just a sneak peek of the real thing! I originally thought I would only share this preview with my facebook fanpage, but I am distracted with other songs, so it might take a little bit longer than intended to finish and upload my final and completed version of this song. It's pretty intricate, so I will upload once it's memorized and the pretty ending is added :) hope you enjoy this little diddy for now! facebook me: www.facebook.com tweetme!: twitter.com/CourtneyKania

Don't Forget to Remember Me


I got a few requests to do the "real" version of this song after hearing my "hilarious harp song". This definitely needs work! I don't know the words yet so I spend most of the time in this recording trying to figure them out.. it's pretty slow, but i'll work on it and make it better!

Let It Be on Harp!


I know there are a few harp versions of "let it be" on youtube, but I arranged this harpy version while working on a Beatles song for a bride. It's not the most difficult piece I've ever played, but it's still beautiful and worth uploading for everyone to enjoy. Maybe I will upload a medley of the Beatles music that I learned for a wedding :) Twitter- twitter.com Facebook- www.facebook.com

Rolling in the Deep by Adele on Harp (blooper haha)


I was just practicing.. but i like it. I didn't know the chords... i was trying to figure them out.. and i think its funny. usually i yell at the harp, and in this one i made weird noises and faces.. i should probably upload a blooper video of all the bloopers from the years. this will be included!

I can't make you love me (a cappella, no harp!)


This is how I decide if I'm going to sing a song while I play the harp! Every video that I sing and play has an entire iMovie file of me singing a capella first to see if I like it. I love love loveee this song! Here I am singing it in the style of Carrie Underwood's audition for american idol. Of course I'm on an AI kick right now with the season picking back up. I can guarantee I will play and sing this one for youtube at some point :)

Colors of the Wind Harp and voice (another silly Disney- don't take it too seriously)


I was sight reading the chords straight from the computer screen.. this is typically how I arrange pop/broadway/disney songs- find a key that I like and go from there. So here is a little glimpse into how I learn my music. With a little twist ;-) If you guys can't tell by now, I'm a harpist with a sense of humor.. Serious videos soon though I promise!

I Won't Ride the MARTA Anymore


So.. I was in ATL this past weekend, and I had the pleasure of riding the MARTA (the rail system that transports people across the city of Atlanta). I was mortified by it, so here's my experience through song :) If you don't know, I am a very proud cheerleading coach, and we took our all-star team there to compete.. you will hear me talk about Heather in this song, she is the gym owner! Lyrics: We Went to Atlanta With Ohio Extreme ...But we stayed in Buckhead at Heather's favorite hotel, Embassy Suites It was 9 whole miles from our hotel to downtown but traffic there is crazy so there's a way to get around With all the people that could squeeze in through those open doors ..Well I won't ride the MARTA anymore! A 15minute cab ride is an hour on this thing 6 stops til we get to 5 points then jump from the red line to the green who understands these colors? take the blue line or the gold? Well I won't ride the MARTA anymore! In a city so wide people can stink sometimes standing side by side on this hour long riiiiide ;) you better hope that you get a seat 'cuz there's a lot of stop and go luggage rollin' people flyin' rubbin' on strangers you don't know This trip can sure get crazy eatin funyuns on the floor ♥ Well I won't ride the MARTA anymoreeeee
