I can’t tell you how disappointed I am when my students don’t attend local harp concerts of visiting or community harpists. Some of these concerts are even free.
I find that my adult students will attend more often than the kids. I guess I haven’t found a way to communicate the importance of attending these concerts to the parents.

There is a marvelous modern flute and harp work by Charles Rochester Young, entitled “Song of the Lark.” It was written in 1989, I believe, and is based on a painting by the same title. There are three movements (slow, fast, slow), each around three minutes long. The first and last movements are very tonal and simply gorgeous. The middle movement (“Flight”) is fast and energetic, and calls for paper to be threaded through some of the strings on the harp for a “snappy” sound. It’s a great piece and a real crowd-pleaser. (The sheet music is available through fluteworld.com)

I use Beginning at the Harp by Thomson and From the Beginning by Pratt.

I use “Fun from the First” too.

If it were my child, I would want to start building some basic musical

concepts before tackling an instrument.
