Foreword

As harp teachers we have been constantly frustrated by the lack of sightreading resources for our instrument. To help overcome this, we started writing sightreading for our own students. Two heads are always better than one, so we combined our compositions and compiled this book. It is a resource book rather than a tutor, and has been designed to give students sufficient practice at an intermediate level. Please respect the copyright on this book.
