Volume Perspective

I was working with a band the other day. I harp player came up that didn't have a lot of experience on the bandstand and their cup on the mic was a bit weak and they played quietly. I asked the band, "what do you think I should do to help the player play louder... better cupping technique?... help with confidence?... work with the harp equipment to get more volume before feedback?" My answer to them was simple... the harp player can either try to play louder via those methods I spoke of or you can simply play softer and fix the issue immediately. They got it ;-)
