Resources
Here are the books we suggest you bring to the Harp Ring meetings! We try to blend the traditional style of "playing by ear" with modern ensemble methods of reading sheet music. This allows more advanced harpists/harpers to develop harmonies and counter melodies with beginners playing a melody line and/or accompaniment. You can purchase these books from Melody's Traditional Music and Harp Shoppe.
- Celtic Harp Solos by Kim Robertson
- Finale by Washington Area Folk Harp Society
- The Small Harp by Alison Kinnaird
