Notes from the arranger

All the pieces in this book are in the key of C and are especially well-suited to being played on harps with 26 or more strings. For harps with less than 26 strings, these pieces can be easily adapted.

This book is not intended to be a “how to play the harp” book. It’s a wonderful collection of fun and easy tunes to accompany one’s harp studies. The pieces are progressive – from very simple, to more challenging; and some basic music elements such as dynamics, fingering, harmonics, etc. are introduced. One of the unique aspects of this book are the fun “Play Along” stories, which can inspire young harpists to expand their repertoires.
