Study of the Treble Clef - Guidelines for Parents and Teachers Stories for free improvisation - suitable for young children.

This book contains a story about the different elements that we live in. The music reflects the poetry, alliteration and story line. Notes of the treble clef are introduced through means of color energies. Children as young as 4-5 can benefit from this book. Until they reach 7, I prefer that the book be used as a tool to stimulate their creativity at the harp rather than jump into note reading.

Study of the Bass Clef - Delightful Songs
This is a continuation of Book 1.

The songs that were introduced in Book one now appear with left hand accompaniment. There are two pages of Daily Exercises which help train the hand to "automatically" reach for various types of configurations of chords. Basic rhythm and musical terms are also introduced in this book.
