Alison strongly advises that learners invest in at least a few introductory lessons with a harp teacher in order to learn correct hand position. Though she is herself primarily self-taught (with a Grade VIII Conservatory piano background) she had to learn this the hard way. After 6 months of diligent practice in a cold room (no central heating in New Zealand), she had to rest her wrist for the next 6 months due to incipient tendonitis. Fortunately there's been no recurrence thanks to good mentors, attention to posture, relaxation and technique.
