Here are eight original compositions in Kathryn's inspirational style for the young student. These pieces inspire a wide variety of playing styles and develop musical interpretation skills. Little Moth teaches harmonics. It is very easy yet it sounds quick. Moon Spinner has a moving left hand with parallel 6ths in the right hand. Grasshopper's Jig teaches accents, is excellent for quick eye-hand coordination and scales, yet is not difficult. Monarch Wings sounds grand and glorious with full double triads. Bumble's Boogie uses enharmonics for a wonderful buzzing effect, and teaches swing rhythm. Golden Swallowtail gives the left hand a great opportunity to facilitate grabbing treble clef notes, therefore assisting with the melody. Busy Bees is fast, easy and just great fun. Green Dragonfly incorporates PDLT, glissandos, accents, and left hand damping, and makes a wonderful recital piece. The pieces are in the key of C or sharp keys, with no fingerings. 15 pages, spiral-bound.

This is a great book for teaching various techniques to beginning harpists. The tunes give the player opportunities to exercise a variety of skills, but are "mature-sounding" enough that my daughter, an intermediate beginner, could play them for church, as background music at school for parent events, etc.
Lots of fun

This little book not only teaches you new skills, but gives you fun music to play as well. I am a "mature" new harper who wanted to learn new skills on the harp as well something to play for others. Most exercise books don't have music you would like to play for people, but all of the little pieces in this book make enjoyable music to play for others, as well as yourself.
Wonderful for Teaching!

This is a wonderul book for teaching beginning harpers! The pieces have basic shapes and patterns that will be of great value to the student in many other pieces as well. They are well written, interesting short pieces that are not all that hard to conquer and learn. "Monarch Wings" is a favorite with its root position arpeggiated triads and a right thumb melody. Kids love these pieces. Adult students love them, too!
