Description

This book is the FIRST in a series meant to help you get started playing the Harp. Although some of it may seem self-explanatory to a trained musician who is just beginning with the instrument, it is best to approach it in the company of a teacher who has a beautiful, relaxed technique, and who can show you how to develop your own.

I highly recommend the study of a friendly and thorough system of Music Language (theory and ear training) to accompany your Harp lessons, individually or in a group. This HIGH SPIRITS MUSIC Harp Series has been written to be compatible with most of them. All the arrangements in this book are by High Spirits Music and Caroline Mackay, unless otherwise noted. Many thanks to every one of my students. You have been “instrumental” in contributing to the development of this series. Enjoy your music, so the world can enjoy you!
This Book is the text for Video Instruction LEVEL ONE- if you are a Beginning student of the HARP and do not have a local teacher, or would like to learn online, please check out and download our VIDEO LESSONS!
