This is a study of ear training through melodic development. Small melodic fragments from familiar nursery rhymes, folk, patriotic and hymns tunes are used. The numbers 1 through 7 are used instead of using ?Do, Re, Mi?? to identify the notes in the scale. Melodies are categorized by range, beginning with a range of only three notes, progressing through a total of nine categories. Skills in ear training are highly useful to musicians who might be asked to take requests at hotels, parties and restaurants, or those involved in harp therapy. With the melodic fragments that are the focus of study, performance by ear can be highly strengthened and developed.

Ten melodies inspired by the Psalms arranged in an improvisatory and gentle style, for harps with or without pedals. Five melodies are from the Jewish tradition (Hiné Ma Tov, Kéli Ata, Lev Tahor, Halleluyah, Kol Rinah) and five are Christian hymns (From All That Dwell Below the Skies, O God Our Help in Ages Past, Unto the Hills I Lift Mine Eyes, This Is My Father's World, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need). Suitable for advanced beginners and a great resource for harpists who play for ecumenical and healing services. Includes chord symbols and some fingerings. The keys range from two flats to one sharp with only two pieces requiring lever changes.
