TEMPO TIME HARP ADVENTURES provides playful learning opportunities for young children who are learning the harp. The all-in-one workbook carefully covers basic music concepts including rhythm, music alphabet and finger numbers through clever activities, fun pencil work and delightful music. The material is gently paced so students feel confident every step of the way.
The color-coded pre-staff notation helps children connect successfully with the geography of the harp. Learning to play with right and left hand finger 2 provides equal development of large motor coordination.
The book includes 16 songs to play, all with teacher duets. Many of the songs will be familiar, like "Yankee Doodle", "Star Light Star Bright" and "Oh Susanna", while supplementary concept pieces focus on pattern recognition and reading development. The colorful illustrations, fun lyrics and creative elements are sure to capture the imagination your young harp students.

Anne, I have been teaching my granddaughter to play the harp using Tempo Time. Her counting, note recognition, and memorization skills have really blossomed. I found this method to move at a much better pace than Suzuki method for harp. ( In it the new skills were coming much too fast.) She is just loving it, and her mamma is so proud of her progress. We are about at the end of the book so I am wondering if we should move to Big Adventures for Small Harps 1A, or the Introductory level. Thank you for providing such a wonderful resource!
Sincerely,
Cayla Boyce
Oh Cayla, I'm just delighted that you are successfully using Tempo Time Harp Adventures with your granddaughter! Big Adventures Small Harps (Introductory) would be a lovely next step for her. - Anne
Thank you Anne for the great beginner harp book for my daughter Aurelia. It is fun and clear like a beginner piano book. We are just finishing it this summer between homeschooling and piano & singing practice.
Hi Adria! Thank you so much for taking a moment to leave a comment. I'm so glad that you and Aurelia had fun with Tempo Time Harp Adventures! - Anne
