excellent!

My grandchild is studying the harp, seriously, now composing her own pieces and winning competitions. This book was her favorite gift last Christmas. It's comprehensive and beautifully presented. If you have a budding harpist in your family, this is an excellent gift, offering both information and incentive. If you simply love harp music, this book will enhance your understanding of this instrument and its history.
