Learn to play the harp

Alison's "Learning the Harp" Free Music Downloads
Alison Vardy offers the new harpist a series of enjoyable exercises, studies and simple tunes for learning the harp. These are refined from her many years of teaching harp to adults and children and are organised in three levels of challenge. All 3 levels of sheet music downloads are designed & intended to be melodic, motivating and fun!

Level 1 is the beginner level for single hand learning. There is a description for each sheet music download so you can select your focus of practice.

Level 2 introduces alternate hands sharing melody and simple harmonies. Content descriptions of each sheet music download allow you to select your next practice target.

Level 3 introduces hands together for the early intermediate players. Again, each sheet music download has a brief description allowing you to select and also return again for further downloads.

You are welcome to download and use these handouts for your own use or for teaching your students.They are NOT for commercial use and cannot be distributed for profit without Alison's express permission.
