Description
From Mary: This is a good book with brackets, placing and fingerings. The concept is good with lots of single lines, like a lead sheet. There are key signature charts and lever charts. The CD is a nice added bonus. This book would not take the place of, say, Pamela Bruner’s “Play the Harp Beautifully” but would be a good additional learning tool. We want you to know that we DO NOT agree with the pictures: hand position and sitting at the harp. For better pictures, you would consult the Bruner books, or Fun From the First, or any of the other really good method books. But the concept, repertoire and price are good.
The Hal Leonard Folk Harp Method is a comprehensive and easy-to-use beginner’s guide, designed for anyone just learning to play folk harp. Inside you’ll find loads of techniques, tips, and fun songs to learn and play. The accompanying CD contains 56 demo tracks that cover most of the music examples in the book. Key signatures and meter signatures; scales and arpeggios; the I-IV-V chords; ostinatos and slides; many classic folksongs; and much more!
