Music Downloads - CD Harping On
Welcome to the harpist Alison Vardy / West Coast Harps' harp sheet music download pages. Please remember to leave a few coins in the Honesty Box on the way out.
The Levels 1,2,3 roughly correspond to the level of difficulty encountered in the individual harp compositions. Some of the tunes are already available on Alison's CD recordings. The remainder will become available over the next year as MP3/MP4s. Eventually there will be 40+ sheet music tunes and 20+ recordings divided amongst these pages.
Enjoy!
