I want to put forward the lever harp.

It includes violin, drums, pedal harp solo, pedal harps, lever harps easy, lever harp medium, children&#8217;s choir and a tale I also wrote about a little pig who want to have a special destiny&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>Tell us more about your original collections:<\/h4>\n<p><em>Autre Chose<\/em> pour harpe \u00e0 leviers is my first book. I put everything in it\u2014arrangements, compositions, and duets&#8230; Then, this book was sold out. So I decided to divide it in four books and also add more melodies. M\u00e9lange pour ensemble de harpes, M\u00e9lange pour harpe \u00e0 leviers et autres instruments, Autre chose pour harpe \u00e0 leviers Niveau d\u00e9butant et intermediate, and Autre chose pour harpe \u00e0 leviers Niveau Avanc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Then I realized that I need more very easy pieces to start lever harp. <em>Appetizer (Amuse Bouche)<\/em> is 60 pieces to start the lever harp (and some difficult pieces at the end also!). They are mainly one page songs with a wide font&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>Where do you look for inspiration?<\/h4>\n<p>If I spend to much time to think ; it doesn&#8217;t work.
