Rainbow of Sound
Beginning Harp DVD/Books Series Vol - 1 - 6
For all ages...now on DVDs for easy learning!!!

The enchanting, magical, teaching DVDs accompany the purple and blue books! Three camera angles show close-ups on technique, note-learning, how to change a string, how to tune your harp while beautiful images are incorporated into the stories. There are two books on each DVD.

Welcome to the Rainbow of Sound LEARN TO PLAY HARP Series on DVD with the accompanying Rainbow of Sound Books. You will learn how to play the harp and the basics of technique, posture, tuning, note-reading, improvisation and gain repertoire while enjoying beautiful stories and images. The use of color and alliteration help to reinforce concepts. This program is suitable for all ages beginning with very young children.

For the older student who has never studied music, you will find this approach will give you a clear understanding of hand position and basic note-reading. I recommend that you seek a Facilitator of the Rainbow of Sound method. They will further help you with fingerings and theory study. You will find these Facilitators by clicking on the menu above.

The Rainbow of Sound series provides recital opportunities to be used by Rainbow of Sound Ensemble Facilitators. A facilitator is one who helps others learn how to play the harp. Ensemble members and new students are able to discern whether they want to continue to study before they purchase a harp. Contact us for information on becoming a Rainbow of Sound Ensemble Facilitator.

Harp Instructor, Carol McLaughlin, Harp Professor at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ and director of the famed Harp Fusion ensemble commends the method as “exceptional” and suggests that this unique approach be applied to college level harp study-.
