This book details a different approach to playing the harp. Instead of a "melody" hand and an "accompanying" hand, Coupled Hands calls for a use of both hands to express the melody. Ann introduces her Coupled Hands approach gradually and progressively, beginning with a rhythmic use of the hands before discussing fingering and techniques. The simple notation presents all necessary information without complexity or confusion. She presents over 80 arrangements for playing levels from experienced novice to advanced, for any size or style of harp (though created to take advantage of a wire-strung harp's longer resonance). There are tunes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cornwall, Cape Breton, France, and Italy. All necessary playing techniques are explained and illustrated with photos. This extensive book also includes developmental exercises, practice tips, a notation index, an index of tune names, background and historical information about the pieces, and an essay examining the historical basis for the Coupled Hands approach. 148 pages.
