When teaching music, selecting the right instructional materials for each student is tremendously important. This project is a bibliography of pedagogical materials currently available
to harp instructors in the United States. The focus is on solo harp literature for lever and pedal harp players of various age groups who play at the beginner through early intermediate
levels, or namely, the first through third years of study for the average student. Annotations provide an analysis of each item regarding its level and usefulness. Most of the listings
consist of print materials, with an additional sampling of DVDs. The materials are categorized in four sections: harp methods for children, harp methods for adults, supplemental solos, and
instructional DVDs. This project seeks to find a balance between newer materials and the older classics of harp literature. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the internet, useful harp
websites are listed in an addendum, Appendix A. Appendix B is a glossary of practical harp terms that pertain to types of harps and common techniques used to play the harp. Appendix C
contains tables of materials that can be used with small harps of 26 strings, and materials that can be used with pedal harp only. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. / Fall Semester, 2014. / October 9, 2014. / harp, pedagogy / Includes bibliographical references. / Mary Roman, Professor Directing Treatise; Alice-Ann Darrow, University Representative; Corinne Stillwell, Committee Member; Bruce Holzman, Committee
