Learn to play by ear on the harp

This book seeks to develop a harpist's ability to play by ear with the use of well known songs. It includes familiar tunes such as Morning has Broken, Angels we Have Heard on High, Hot Cross Buns, and Au Claire de la Lune. The idea is that as a child you learned to sing songs by ear. Now to learn to play these same songs on the harp, your ability to learn by ear will be translated to your harp playing. If you use this book correctly, you can learn how to play any song without the music, just by listening to it! It's an incredibly useful skill to have for harpists of all ages and all ability levels. 80 pages.
