Well Rounded Warm-Ups: Harp Warm-Up Book and Practice Journal (PDF)

→ Learn with me over at How To Harp

Well Rounded Warm-Ups is my practical guide to warming up at the harp, for players at every level. It gets your body, your focus and your fingers ready before you start on your pieces or technique.

It's built around my Four Pillars: Settle and Centre, Close Work, Stretch Work and Creative Work. There's no single correct warm-up. It's about listening to what your hands and ears need each day. So you get six sample routines to start from, and the tools to build your own.
