Review by M. Herzog, 2010-06-24
Very quickly gets you into practicing your skills. However this is a little too advanced for my level at this point. Perhaps in about a year it will all make sense. But for those who actually know what they are doing, I can see how this book will work.
Review by Michael Gage, 2009-03-02
This book delivers exactly what it promises. Each exercise focuses on a particular skill (i.e. playing arpeggios, scales, different intervals, etc.). There are also a few songs to play which utilize skills developed in some of the exercises. This book will benefit beginners through advanced players.

This book is everything I could possible ask for. I've been playing flute for ten years, and have just picked up the harp, and the exercises here are reminiscent of the better tecique exercises I have worked with for so long on the flute. The exercises within this book are thorough and are progressively more difficult; I was able to practice the first exercises from the moment I got my harp but it will take a great deal of practice to have the ability to play the more complex exercises. All that is necessary is a basic knowledge of how to read music and the book takes you from there to beyond. I highly recommend it to any harper or harpist who wants to work on their technique and have a nice warm up.

The exercises in this book help strengthen the fingers and hands and improve agility. The expercises are good for all levels of experience. The expercises are a good way of warming up and will bring ones playing ability to a greater level of accomplishment. I highly recommend this book for ones music book library.

I bought this book for my Mom. She has been
involved with music for many years. She plays
a number of instruments and is now learning to play
the harp. This book is an asset to her and she
thinks it would be excellent for all harp students.
