I Can’t Find a Harp Teacher - What Shall I Do?There are a number of harp tutor books and DVDs suitable for those who are teaching themselves without the benefit of a teacher. We recommend: Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp by Sylvia Woods Aimed at the adult beginner. This book proceeds at a lightning pace, so if you prefer to consolidate what you have learned before moving on, it is not the right book for you. Features traditional and Celtic music.
For those wishing to acquire the specialised technique necessary to play the Welsh Triple Harp. Suitable for lever harp, this book is written from a more classical perspective than the other tutors listed and would therefore be suitable for those interested in playing classical music and / or going on to play the pedal harp.
