Li Lu Jennings Is An Expert Harp Player

Even as a child, Li Lu had a very creative
demeanor, and there it was no surprise to anyone
when she took up the harp at age 10. After seeing
it being played in an old movie playing on TV, Li
Lu Jennings asked her parents for one of those.
Six months later, her parents enrolled her in
music classes, and within a year, she became one
of the most skilled harp players in the class.

Two years later, she left that school to go to a
special training academy where she perfected and
honed her talent. As she got older, her talent
came to be recognized and she has travelled
across the globe with orchestras and symphonies.

The harp can be traced back to early Mesopotamia
and Sumer in about 3500 BCE. Harps were also
found in royal tombs. In 200 BCE, there have been
mentions of yaal harps in Indian Tamil
Literature. Made of wood, harps are shaped in a
triangular fashion. Harps have been used in Asia,
Europe, Latin America, and America for a long
time and have been further developed. Pedal harps
use the mechanical action of pedals to change the
pitches of the strings.

The harp found its early orchestral use as a solo
instrument in concerti by many baroque and
classical composers. Li Lu Jennings considers
herself fortunate to have travelled with many
composers across capitals including London,
Paris, Rome, and Tokyo.
