Forever in Love with Horses book by Kathryn Cater

These eight original compositions were created especially for the young harp student with the goal of teaching good technique and at the same time holding their interest! The tunes are very creative and fun, and are sure to inspire! The Andalusian has glissandos, PDLT and lots of triads in various forms. The Arabian is easy with a few triplets. Riding Sunflower is a cheerful waltz teaching scales, inversions and arpeggios. The Horse In My Dreams is a gentle piece in 3/4 time, teaching expressive right hand and left hand rolled chords. Irish Pony is a spirited 4/4 piece with lots of drones played in different octaves as eighths and quarters. Old Paint has that very western trail riding theme kids will love. The Silver Unicorn is a stately 6/8 piece which teaches inversions and the pattern of a dotted eighth followed by 16th It will make a great recital piece. Prancing Pony Rag is a lighthearted jovial piece not meant to be played too quickly, but retaining the lively feel. The pieces are in the key of C or sharp keys, with no fingerings. 17 pages, spiral-bound.
