Big Adventures Small Harps, Level 1A

BIG ADVENTURES SMALL HARPS, LEVEL 1A sets the stage for success with a carefully structured approach designed for adult and teen beginners who have some prior music reading experience. This all-in-one workbook blends visual, aural, and tactile learning to build a solid foundation at the harp.

Level 1A begins with a review of grand staff reading and basic rhythm, then progresses through five thoughtfully organized chapters.

Each chapter includes:

• Technique & warm-ups
• Note and pattern reading flashes
• Rhythm reading challenges
• Two engaging pieces to play
• Theory exercises

Concepts covered include:

• Open and closed hand position
• Placing 2- and 3-note groups
• Linking groups and crossing hands
• Rhythm: from basic note values up to dotted quarter + eighth
• Notes: Grand staff and ledger lines (ideal for 26-string harps)
• Intervals: 2nds and 3rds

A set of 10 video practice tracks is included via YouTube—each piece from the book is demonstrated at a comfortable tempo on a small harp to support your learning.

This is a warm, approachable introduction to harp playing with structured progression and musical enjoyment in mind.
