The most popular beginning harp book for harpists of all ages.

"Teach Yourself To Play The Folk Harp" by Sylvia Woods

Teach Yourself To Play The Folk Harp is the most popular beginning book for people of all ages who want to learn to play the harp. Students work progressively step by step.  There are 12 lessons and each one includes instructions, exercises, and folk and classical pieces using the new skills and techniques taught in the lesson. We use this book for our students and recommend it for anyone who would like to teach themselves or do not have access to a harp teacher. Previous musical training is not necessary as Sylvia explains everything along the way.  There are 44 pieces all in the key of C, with no sharping levers required. Fingering and placing brackets are included. 80 pages, spiral-bound. We also have the companion CD, cassette, or DVD available. Many like to play along so Sylvia has recorded most of the pieces slower than they are usually played, and as “straight” as possible, with little or no expression or rhythmic variations. The pieces on the CD, cassette, and DVD are in the same order as in the book.  The DVD is 1 Hour and 40 minutes long. Songs Include Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Yankee Doodle, Go Tell Aunt Rhodie, Lavender's Blue, Are You Sleeping?, The Water is Wide, White Choral Bells, Long Long Ago, Country Gardens, Allemande, Joy to the World, Blue Bells of Scotland, Minuet (Bach), All Through the Night, Robin Adair (Eileen Aroon), Ode To Joy (Beethoven), Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, Planxty George Brabazon (O'Carolan), Scarborough Fair, The Grenadier and the Lady, My Love is Like A Red Red Rose, Searching for Lambs, Greensleeves (What Child is This), Planxty Irwin (O'Carolan), Trip to Sligo (Lark on the Strand), Minuet (Bach), Farewell, The Christ Child's Lullaby, Cherry Blooms (Sakura), St. Anthony's Chorale (Haydn), Lullaby, Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier, Flow Gently Sweet Afton, Theme from the New World Symphony (Dvorak), Cockles and Mussels, Au Clair de la Lune, Shenandoah, Gilliekrankie, Ash Grove, Wild Mountain Thyme, Minstrel Boy, Southwind, Sheebeg Sheemore (O'Carolan), Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach).   We GUARANTEE all our work!
