A very encouraging book for anyone wishing to learn to play the harp - wire or gut strung.
No more bass clef! Well, not written anyway. Internationally renowned harper Ann has come up with an
intelligently musical way of combining the written notation for both hands, thus simplifying the daunting music-reading
process, and has combined this with tips and tricks gathered over years of teaching and performing. A must!

An excellent little hardback book which will enable pipers, or other musicians, to track
down the music for that elusive tune. A very simple cross-reference system will enable the reader to find
out which tune book contains the music he wants. Indexed by music type, i.e. strathspeys, 2/4 marches
etc, and with interesting historical notes on a few tunes too!
