Summary: If I can do it, so can you
Comment: I've been playing the folk harp for about three months. I'm already playing several classical pieces. Sylvia Woods' book has been immensely helpful in learning basics like fingering, plucking the strings correctly, and how to place your fingers in advance. Every harp player needs to develop good habits from the start, or it will become a problem later on when trying to play more difficult pieces. Proper placement is emphasized. Get the video if you can - it's helpful to see Ms Woods playing the pieces. She also points out any problematical areas in the video. The two work well together.

If you can find a harp teacher in your area, great! I have a wonderful teacher and we use the book to plan practice sessions and choose the next piece to memorize.

I don't read music (yet), so if you have trouble, just pencil in the names of the notes under the staff and play from that!

Summary: very good for a beginner, helpful to those with music theory
Comment: This book is a good place to start if you have never before touched a harp. It starts at the beginning, and has a great deal of basic info (such as how to replace strings, which I use all the time!) The music is simple, but below the needs of people with knowledge of music theory, or piano experience.
