Preface.
The author, in her experience as a teacher, has felt the need of a concise and
attractive book for beginners on the double action harp. Much of merit has been
given to the harp world for the more advanced student; but to the novice at the
instrument, there is very little that is not tedious and severe.
The plan of this work is to give a variety to each lesson, and in so far as
possible to make it melodious and interesting, while giving the principles of the
technique in their essential forms.
This method for the double action harp is .also applicable to the small harp
taught in the key of C flat. There are a few places that the text runs an octave too
high for the small harp, but in these cases it can always be played an octave low-
er and within the range of the small harp. The author is very favorable to the use
of these harps in the kindergarten, as preparatory for the concert harp later.
Attention is called to the fact, that the correct position at the harp is most
natural. For one of medium height, a chair nineteen inches high should be used.
The harp should recline very lightly between the knees, and without resting on
the shoulder, or feeling any weight of the instrument; which is so constucted as
to balance at the angle at which it is played. Tipped slightly toward the play-
er, it is easily controlled by the slightest touch of the knee. Reach out for the
strings as you would for a book that was handed to you, with the elbows in a
straight line with the hand.
Place the fingers on the strings with the thumb pointing up, and the second
third and fourth fingers each on a string, and pointing toward the sounding board;
then play the fingers, bringing each into the hand as you play, as if you were clos-
ing the hand. This gives a firm grasp on the strings and will develope a positive
and smooth touch.
Having given sufficient cuts to illustrate this method, and with each exercise
carefully fingered, it is hoped that to the earnest pupil, it will become in a large
sense a self- teacher, and aid the novice to acquire the fundamental principles of
this most fascinating instrument.
The Author.

MUSICAL NOTATION.
Musical sounds are represented upon paper by signs called notes which are written upon five
lines and the spaces between them. These lines and spaces are called the staff or stave:
lines spaces With notes or
Staff or Stave:-*-

When notes are written above or below the staff, leger or added lines are used:
Line above _ ~ ~m +. Jt ^
Stuff:
Lines below ~ — ^ With notes. ~*~ t ~+~
The notes are named from the letters of the alphabet: a,b,c,d, js, f,G. A sign called aclef is placed at the beginning of the staff and determines the name and position ofthe notes. Two clefs are in general use; the treble or G clef, and the bass or F clef. _*The G clef is placed on the second line of the staff:- - thus: 3C=
and fixes the names of all the notes above andbelow it:

The Fclef is placed upon the fourth line ofthe staff,
thus:-o-

The diatonic major scale consists of seven tones, or degrees, and the eighth or octave fromthe first degree. These succeed each other by steps and half steps as follows:

FORM AND VALUE OF NOTES AND RESTS.
The value, or duration, of notes and rests is. expressed by their different forms. The fol
lowing table shows the comparative value of the notes.

CHROMATIC ALTERATIONS BY SHARPS, FLATS AND NATURALS.
The H (sharp) placed before a note raises it
a chromatic half-step, as C to C sharp:
f.Csharp
The ^(natural) restores a note which has beenchanged by the flat or sharp to its original pos-
ition. The x (double sharp) raises a note which is
already sharp another half-step:
C sharp G dou ble sharp-TTM
The I? (flat) placed before a note lowers it a
chromatic half-step, as C to C flat:
C Cflat
TheW? (double flat) lowers a flatted note an -
other half-step:
„ Cflat C double flat
4^ "-wThe!]# and \\\> restore the note which has been raised by the x or lowered by the \>\> back to the orig-
inal sharp or flat note. Sharps or flats placed at the begining( Signature) of a piece affect all thenotes upon which they are placed during the piece, unless they are contradicted by accidental flats
,
sharps, or naturals, and these only have effect in the measure where they occur.
DIFFERENT ORDERS OF TIME.Time may be either common or triple, and is indicated at the begining.The time signature shows
how many notes of a certain kind there are in a measure. Commonior duple) time is indicated as
follows lUb* 8 r»\ 4 a
etc. Triple time is indicated by: mi etc.
The lower figure shows the kind of note, and the upper one the number of that kind in a measure;
8 signifies that there are three eighth notes in a measure. Compound triple time is a contraction of
two or more simple-triple measures into one, as, | instead of?; § instead of 3, etc.
When a strain is played twice, two or more dots are placed by the side of the double-bar:
=jf=Double bar. EE Single bar
E Double bar with repetition of the follow-" ing strain.
Sometimes the word "bis" is written over the measures to be repeated.
VARIOUS OTHER SIGNS.
ziJE Double bar with repetition of the preceed-
ing strain.
Double bar with repetition of both strains.
*->. A bind or tie connects two or more notes of
the same name.
C\ A pause, which lengthens at will the duration
of a note or rest.
-=A crescendo, or gradual increase of tone.
^"A decrescendo, or gradual decrease of tone.
SIGNATURES OF MAJOR SCALES.
oA swell an increase and then a decrease of tone.
> * > - Indicate that a marked accent is to be given
to the note or chord over which it is placed.
The abbreviations vf, sf,fz, s/z,/p, r/z etc. are
also used for the same purpose.
% Dal segno (the sign), means to return to a simi-
lar sign.

HOW TO TUNE THE HARP.
To tune the harp make sure that all pedals are in the upper notch, because when the pedals are all up
the strings are open, and this gives the natural key of the harp, seven flats, or Ck
Then tune # string to of the piano, and proceed to tune in thirds, fourths and fifths
as follows; being careful to strike first the note with the stem down, and tuning the note with the stem
up to it in perfect intervals. teasTTr

Study of Pres de la Table.
In the following studies there will be an exercise in each of the major keys with a theme in which thisspecial form of technique, demonstrated in the exercise, is used in its practical application.
Pres de la Table means to play the note at the end of the string nearest the sounding board, with theend of the second finger where single notes are used, and with the second and third fingers where two notesare used together.
The tension of the string is greater here, and considerable strength should be used.
Position of right hand. Position of left hand.
