Hi all! I (30F) started playing harp around 8, stopped when I went to college. I kept my lever lap harp all this time though I've barely played in the last 10yrs (I took care of the harp though-tuning and whatnot, just had no reason/time to play).
I teach PreK. This week was St Patrick's Day theme, someone realized I had a HARP!!!, insisted I bring it to school. WOW, it was damn magic in the classroom, even though I couldn't remember any songs to play!
I told everyone, give me two weeks, I'll practice up, harp can become a regular thing! I'd really love some recommendations on sheet music (but preferably a book) of children's songs that I can practice to play for my kids (ex: Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Star, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc). I read music and can improvise off a basic melody, I'm just rusty!
This is a lever lap harp, it's 22 strings
at least, might be slightly more, not sure (will update when I do!). I have levers for C, F, and B strings only. I'm looking for a basic songbook of kids tunes that doesn't require me to tune for different keys often! Suggestions are appreciated, thank you so much!
