Celtic harper Deborah Friou is the author of numerous books of harp music arrangements, ranging from early and Renaissance to classical and baroque, from folk music to Christmas carols. She has recorded several CDs, both solo and with her fellow harper Julia Lane. She lives in Maine, where she continues to write and teach.
"Harp Exercises for Agility and Speed" by Deborah Friou has been one of the most helpful books in my harp book collection. As a beginning harpist, I was able to see the proper fingerings for each of the exercises. As I progressed to other written arrangements, understanding the proper fingering facilitated the learning of new songs. I recommend this book to every beginner harpist (and even more experienced players).
I have been playing harp for 10 years, and continue to use the Deborah Friou exercise book to add accuracy and speed to my playing. It has made rapid passages much easier to play. Her exercises work!

This book takes a methodical approach to building technique and is easy to use, even for a harpist without a teacher. Does not contain any pictures of hand position or posture at the harp.
