Enchanted Melodies

Duets for Lever or Pedal Harp, Primo level 1, Secondo level 2+
I call it “the fairy book”. These pieces were inspired by the simple duets my beginning piano students enjoyed. I saw how playing together made them excited about their lessons and helped them develop musically, and wanted to create similar pieces for my harp students.
HARP ONE is melody line only, and very easy. No eighth notes, though I do encourage performance in cut time in a couple pieces, after the student has mastered it in a regular tempo. To make these pieces accessible to beginners, I wrote most of Harp One centered on Middle C, but in performance students are asked to play some of these pieces an octave higher than written. The melody tends to be buried if performed where written. This is common practice in beginning piano music.
HARP TWO is more advanced, with eighth notes, hands together and three note chords.

Each piece is titled for a mythical fairy-like creature from different parts of the globe. I “did my research”, or at least I tried!
