Great exercises and tune selections, an outstanding addition to the learning material for harp. Formerly in two volumes, now nicely combined into a 60-page method, this superb collection of exercises and songs can be used for all harps, though the range is specifically for small harps. Exercises are simple and move slowly, developing a solid technique. The book is meant to be used under the guidance of a harp instructor. Fingerings and brackets are well marked, songs are well known, aiding in learning! Tunes are laid out well.

Contains: Drink to Me Only, Amazing Grace, London Bridge, Lavender?s Blue, Cockles and Mussels, Hints of Christmas (a one-page medley that is easy and impressive!), Susy Little Susy, Ode to Joy, Brahms? Lullaby, Kum-ba-yah, We Three Kings, For He?s a Jolly Good Fellow, Crusader?s Hymn, Potpourri (an original tune using many of the techniques found in the book), and Untraveled Path, a tune by one of Ms. Drake?s theory students, arranged for small harp.

?Anthology? is a collection of fifty themes and melodies in a smart format developed by Ray Pool. It is in ?enhanced lead sheet? format that includes fully fingered melody lines, and in-depth liner notes, unlike traditional fake books. Conveniently indexed according to topic (folk, Celtic, children, hymns, spirituals, plainsong, Jewish, Christmas, opera, and classical), alphabet, and level so that no matter what, the harpist may always find his/her music. It includes four pages of basic chord progressions, and helpful performance notes. Perfect for the harpist of any type or level!
