Big Adventures Small Harps, Level 1A
Regular price $30.00
Big Adventures Small Harps, Level 1A sets the stage for success at the harp. A thoughtful blend of visual, aural and tactile skill development ensures that the basics are well-covered.
This is appropriate material for adult and teen beginners who have some prior music reading experience in both clefs. Level 1A picks up with a review of grand staff note reading and basic rhythm, and progresses systematically through five chapters.
Every chapter includes: technique, warm-ups, note and pattern reading flashes, rhythm reading challenges, two pieces to play plus theory.
Level 1A covers the following basic concepts:
- open and closed hand position
- placing 2 and 3 note groups
- linking groups
- crossing hands
- rhythm: basic note values up to dotted quarter and eighth
- notes: grands staff and ledger lines (appropriate for 26 string harp)
- intervals: 2nds and 3rds
The YouTube video below is a set of 10 practice tracks. I have recorded each piece from Level 1A at a comfortable tempo on a small harp to support and encourage as you learn.
