<\/a>\u201cYou really get to experience that amazing sound that a classical orchestra can produce,\u201d he says, \u201cthat you just don\u2019t get when listening on earbuds, let\u2019s say.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sound of a live harp is undeniable. It is, however, an instrument not often seen in orchestras; Layne says that this has its good and bad sides for a professional musician.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a much more unusual instrument,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s not as much competition, and I think people respond to the harp in part because you don\u2019t get a chance to hear it as often. On the flip side of that, if your goal is to be an orchestral player, typically there\u2019s only one harp position available, as opposed to quite a few violins.\u201d<\/p>\n
Layne says that young artists looking to get their name out there need to realize that the landscape has changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook into YouTube. Look at the electronic landscape that we live in,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s very helpful to get involved in a number of different things.\u201d<\/p>\n
