Suzuki Harp School Vol 1 - Beginner Harp Method Book for Classical Music Training | Perfect for Students, Teachers & Home Practice

I have three sons that use the Suzuki method with their cello studies, so when my daughter decided to take up the harp I was delighted to learn that Suzuki has books for harp too. Her teacher does not strictly use the Suzuki method but I figured that since there is some overlap between these songs and the ones in the Suzuki Cello 1 book the kids would have fun playing together.I'm quite delighted with this book. It has great clearly labeled illustrations and helps to introduce harp skills in an easy, concise, clear and friendly manner. It is much better written than the Cello and Violin Suzuki books I've seen. If you are new to harp I think this is defintely a great resource for your shelf. The songs get you going - they start out easily to build your confidence but by the end of the book you're playing some beautiful and more complex tunes already. Even without the music, the book is worth it simply for the great harp diagrams and knot tying illustrations to educate yourself/keep handy.Be sure to pick up the CD that goes with it too for the best learning experience! With the Suzuki method you play the songs over (and over and over and over) to internalize the melody/rhythm/intonation. Then when you are ready to learn the song on the instrument you are already ahead of the game because you know the piece by heart! It's a beautiful system. :)
