From Carol Robbins, jazz harpist with many TV credits: "Congratulations on a book that is creative, well researched, and beautifully illustrated"

From Louise Trotter, "A book on blues for harpists is long overdue, since the subject has been sorely neglected. I. Mac Perry has given us a practical workbook to appeal to classical and pop harpists alike. A valuable contribution."

Cool, unique, FUN! If you or your students are tired of the "same old", this book is for you! Eight original pieces in varying styles: waltz, jazz, variation, Irish, contemporary, and more. Appropriate for both C and Eb tunings. A special effects guide can be found at the beginning of the book. Some of the songs are very simple, some are intermediate and some are upper intermediate. Many use the full range of the harp. All are excellent teaching material, and the upper intermediate selections can be used as background music or in recitals.
