This is a great video I found by Derek Sivers. He's doing a speech at Berklee College of Music, and talking about what it takes to be a great composer and student. This video will be most helpful to music students, but I think it's great advice for any serious artist. I thought I'd share it with you guys. 6 Things I Wish I Knew B4 I Started School 1. Focus, Disconnect, and do not be distracted. 2. Do not accept their speed limit. 3. Nobody will teach you anything. You have to teach yourself. 4. Learn from YOUR heroes, not theirs. 5. Don’t get stuck in the past. 6. When done, be valuable. Hope you all found this as inspiring and helpful as I have. :)

Don't know about quartertones, but normal harps work like this - they have 7 pedals, one for each C, D, E, F, G, A and B. Each pedal has three positions neutral, 1/2 tone up, and 1/2 tone down. If you can find a way to get your desired scale bu adjusting the 7 pedals, then yes, the harp can glissando it, otherwise it can't. For example. Suppose I want to gliss the chord B-D-E-A-flat. Then I would configure the pedals like this: C - 1/2 tone down D - neutral E - 1/2 tone up F - neutral G - 1/2 tone up A - 1/2 tone down B - neutral Hope this helped
