Harpitree Method: Level One

A Complete Introduction to the Harp - Early-Beginner

by Ina Yoon

Most harp method books hand you a folk tune and hope the technique sticks. This one doesn't.

Across 7 lessons, Level One adds one finger at a time and one interval at a time — and every single piece you play was composed or arranged by Ina Yoon for the exact skill you just learned. Nothing is filler. Nothing is borrowed from a book written for another instrument.

The progression — 7 lessons, 19 pieces & mini studies.

 

Each lesson teaches the new technique step by step, drills it in focused mini studies, then puts it straight into real music. You never wonder why you're playing something.

Original compositions by Ina Yoon: Tiny Fairy Dance · The Happy Chick · Grey Sky Lullaby · Wiggly Little Bee · The Owl's Waltz · Kitty's Tip-Toe · Starlight Swing · The Magic Harp Forest · Sunny Garden · Rainbow Stairs.

Arranged favourites: Mary Had a Little Lamb · Hot Cross Buns · London Bridge  · Pachelbel's Canon 

By the end of this book you will:

• Play with all four fingers, cleanly placed and properly closed
• Hear and play 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5ths interval
• Play with thumb, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers
  
• Read simple notes in both clefs, with some theory understanding
  

Written for the early beginner.
