“It's great to read a book that explains so much, and in such a friendly way. It's easy to understand, but doesn't 'dumb anything down.' Great for beginners as well as harpists looking for information (and practice ideas) on advanced chords, comping ideas, etc. I wish it had been around years ago!” – Park Stickney, Jazz Harpist, Composer, Arranger, Educator |
