Raise money for a concert pedal harp

Hi, my name is Alejandro Barnett, I am 16 years old and I am currently raising funds to buy a concert pedal harp.

My need for a concert pedal harp is due to my increased involvement in orchestral performances, for which my current lever harp is insufficient.

At present, the instruments that I play are:
  

• Classical/Electric/Bass Guitars 
  
• Piano 
  
• Harp 

Each Saturday, I attend Sheffield Music academy where I am taught not only how to become more proficient at playing my instruments, but also about music theory and composition work.

My aspirations for the future are to be a professional musician, with a desire to attend a Music College, then eventually progressing to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, or the Royal College of Music in London.

If successful in raising funds for a concert pedal harp, these dreams can be realised, and will help me to excel further in my harp playing with the ability to become further involved with orchestral work, as this will increase my repertoire and its range.

Currently, during orchestral performances, I use a small amp to carry my sound out to be heard amongst the other instruments, but this isn't a permanent solution. If I am able to acquire a concert pedal harp, I will be able to exceed my current playing ability and professional involvement and become a more established member of orchestral arrangements.

Rotherham Music have been supporting me by giving me the opportunity to perform at local festivals and events around the borough of Rotherham, and I am currently busking around the UK, raising funds for a concert pedal harp and gaining experience to support my musicianship.
