Zither Lap Harp Sheet Music ~ Child's Play Duet Parts; Children's Favorites

Description

Have you ever seen a child light up when he gets a chance to play beautiful music? I sure have, and it’s wonderful!
As a professional pianist, private piano instructor, and Director of Music for a Montessori Preschool, I have spent many years sharing my passion for music with children. Along the way, I have developed and taught a very unique and successful early childhood music program.
World of Harmony Music is a music program like no other. Over the past 15 years, I have created books of sheet music for a beautiful little 15-stringed instrument called a zither or lap harp.
Instrument NOT included!
(Sorry to scream at you, but too many people don't seem to understand that part!)
My books work with zithers made by Appalachian Spirit Folk Instruments, Music Maker, Melody Harp, T.K. O'Brien's, and Small World Toys. Please note that these sheets may not work with other zither brands, and definitely do NOT work with First Act or Hape Happy harps, as the size or tuning may be different.
You could trim the edges of my books to fit First Act and Hape Happy Harps, but you may lose a couple of beginning or ending notes. If so, you could fill those in by hand on your cut sheets.
Music Makers often have the word "Nepenenoyka" printed on them.
All you do is slip the sheet music underneath the strings of the zither, and you simply pluck the string over each note on the sheet! Anyone can immediately play beautiful music, regardless of musical training or natural ability. It just couldn’t be easier! I’ve watched “children” ages 3 to 90+ enjoy playing this music, as it’s so much fun for everyone! The parents watching my classes have always enjoyed learning so much about music along with their children! I've also included various kinds of music from the diverse cultures of our world, making it easy to learn about our world's languages, cultures, and holidays through music!
For many years, people have asked me to make this curriculum available to purchase separately from my classes. Finally, the time has come! Whether you’d like this music for your own enjoyment and education, you’d like to teach children of your own, or you’d like to teach your own classes to students of any age, this program will make that goal so easy and so much fun!
This listing is for a copy of my companion duet book, World of Harmony Music;
Child's Play Duets. This
is a book of duet parts for every song in the popular Child's Play book!
Grab a friend and a second zither, and have a ball playing music together! Playing duets is a great way to have a lot of fun playing music with another person, while learning more about reading music, counting the rhythms correctly, and learning to harmonize along with a melody.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK unless you already have or are planning to buy Child's Play
,
which is the book of melody parts,
and a second zither!
