Playing Your Tiny Harp

A tiny harp may have as few as 8, 12, 15, 18, or 22 strings. Although small compared to other harps, you can make beautiful, fulfilling music on a tiny harp.


This book was written for those who have never played any type of harp. You may wish to play by ear, or perhaps you aspire to read music or to improvise, playing tunes you already know or learning new ones. All of that is possible on the tiny harp.


The book contains an introduction to reading standard notation, and a progressive repertoire for various sizes of tiny harps.
