Play the Harp Beautifully - Level 1

I too want to be able to play the harp beautifully, and have drooled in envy over those on Youtube who play nicely. After researching various books and learning methods, I chose this book and am not sorry! The book takes things one step at a time and seems to leave nothing out. I just ordered the DVD set as well, as some of us (me included) are Monkey See-Monkey Do folks. It is so nice that each lesson includes the author's own music created specifically to play when learning the lesson! A terrific resource!!

I bought this book to review and compare with other beginning harp books for the self-taught student. I like it best out of the 4 books I reviewed.

This is an excellent teaching resource for the harp. The author explains concepts clearly, has plenty of pictures for proper technique, and reminds you throughout the book to continually evaluate your technique. The pieces are beautiful yet practical and guide you through progressively harder pieces. She also has helpful tips for practicing. The last half of the book presents the basics of music reading and theory as well. Highly recommend!

Excellent teacher!!! Book is a must in your music library!!!

The book is very well written and very easy to follow. I'm happy of my choice. The people who work at Musicmakers are also very nice and they did follow my request carefully. The only thing i was surprise to see is that the book looks used, not new as it should be: there are stains (coffee stains?) on the cover and through the first pages...but it's ok.
