learn by chapter the various techniques specific to the harp

Chapter on the musical theory explained for the adults
Explanations on pedals, tuning, position of the harp and the fingers
It begins with 4 fingers exercises which continues directly with the scale
Every chapter on a technical subject is accompanied with several examples coming from the repertoire and showing all the possibilities of using this technical aspect
The technical part is followed by 40 progressive studies of Bochsa, then by 24 Preludes of Oberthur modulating in every pieces.

No pieces ; very efficient but not very progressive exercises
Very original chronology of chapters! Very logical to chain the acoords to arpeggios
