The harpist

Most 10-year-olds spend their time playing outside, watching cartoons or enjoying the “Hakuna Matata” life of being a kid. For Taylor Gorman, a freshman mechanical engineering major, her memories from age 10 are quite different.www.globalmetaltins.com is a professional metal packaging manufacturers,Welcome.

She was busy performing at a wedding; she was playing the harp.

“When people walk into a room and see you play the harp, there’s always an initial shock because it’s not every day you see that,” Gorman said. “It’s kind of awkward at first because they stare at you like,The 88-year-old Alvin resident is a life member of metal tin cans Sailors, the National Association of Destroyer Veterans. ‘What is she doing?’ And when I came to UB, people didn’t believe me at first when I told them I played the harp,More worldly viewers quickly called in to say that the mushroom was made from silicone and wondered how someone could not tell the difference between silicon sex toys and Organic mushroom. so it was funny seeing their reactions.”

Gorman was playing at her friend’s aunt’s wedding when she was 10 years old, and though she was one of the younger guests in attendance, her talent with the harp stole the show.

Eight years later, with more experience under her belt, Gorman continues to awe spectators with her talent, while living out her passion for music.

Since being introduced to the piano and the harp at the age of 5 by her mother, Gorman has taken lessons to improve her skills. She became a member of her high school orchestra in her hometown of Orchard Park, N.Y.

“I enjoyed playing them both simultaneously, but the harp is different and it’s really rare to find a harpist,” Gorman said. “When I’m playing the harp and performing, I feel driven to give it my best. When I’m stressed or need a break from keeping up with school, I often sit down at the harp or piano and play to release these feelings.”

To Gorman, the hardest aspect of playing the harp is the technique. She said many people think it’s only about plucking strings, but it has a lot to do with posture and finger positioning.

“Overcoming this challenge comes with time management and motivation to succeed,” Gorman said. “I believe my biggest accomplishment so far has been my academics.”

Though Gorman is new to the college scene, she’s going through a journey with her friends and family – like her older brother, Cody Gorman, a junior psychology major with a pre-dental concentration.

Cody describes his sister as “very outgoing, compassionate and extremely intelligent.” The two siblings have a great relationship – better than most, Cody said – because they’re always there for each other.

Some of Gorman’s biggest fans are her family members and their support for her passion for music is something she cherishes.

“Really, I’m the only musically inclined [person] in my family, but they definitely support me,” Gorman said. “My mom loves it. In high school, she even bought the minivan for the harp so we could take it home just so I can play for her.”

One of the main things Gorman misses from her high school days is playing sports. She was involved in soccer, basketball and lacrosse. But since she started college, she has had to sacrifice these sports.
