Product Description
This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. The book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

This is a great book for the learning autoharp player. Its the next book after beginning to play. The author explains additional strumming techniques, chord development, and techniques for playing different styles of music.

Celtic Autoharp is a great "How To" book for people who have a basic knowledge of how to play the autoharp and want to start playing melody instead of just chords. It has easy to read tablature written under the music notes. It comes with a CD that clearly plays a short rendition of the melody so you can familiarize yourself with how the song should sound played on an autoharp. I put the the songs on my i-pod and each time I am ready to learn a new tune I can easily listen to the tune. I would recommend Celtic Autoharp to anyone wanting to learn more about enhancing their skills on the autoharp.
