5.0 out of 5 stars
Words for songs, February 19, 2008
This review is from: Suzuki Harp School, Vol 2: Harp Part (Suzuki Method Core Materials) (Paperback)
My kids have followed the Suzuki curriculum for several instruments. I think the Harp progression is probably the best organized in terms of cleanly adding skills one at a time for each song. I would recommend it to anyone learning harp -- child or adult, "Suzuki" or "traditional".
It can be a lot easier to learn songs when you know the words. Here is one set:
Twinkle A
- Taka, Taka, Jump, Jump
- Mississippi Hot Dog
- Cinderella Princess
Twinkle B
- I love you
- Ice cream cone
