Harp Sheet Music By Title

Originally developed for students in the 'Bedsides Harp' therapy program, this collection assists harpists in the study of playing from a fake book or in lead sheet format. Ray Pool utilizes "enhanced lead sheet format," a term he defines as "educational with a performance orientation as the ultimate goal. A solo melody line and chord symbols are given the same style of a traditional 'Fake Book.' However, extra information and suggestions are provided to facilitate the performance." This collection is designed to suit the needs of any harpist looking to broaden their repertoire, but would be extremely useful to those specializing in "Harp Therapy" and public location performances. Basic Chord Theory knowledge is required.

Includes full score organ part and separate harp part. For intermediate level pedal harp. Just a few pedal changes, these are marked. Organ part is 17 pages, harp part is 8 pages.
