'Adventures for Lever Harp'
by Lauren Scott has received praise from Harp societies around the world! "This next book is one to put on your wish list for Santa... For those who play or teach lever harp, these entertaining and innovative pieces are a welcome addition to the repertoire, and audiences should find these tunes interesting and engaging." Jan Jennings for Harp Column Magazine "This is a brilliant collection of original compositions for the lever harp... a wonderful addition to anyone's lever harp music collection, leading away from the cliched music and I highly recommend it." Monika Stadler for Harp Magazine "We don't often find an intermediate to advanced book for lever harp, so I was excited to see this publication. This collection is ideal for professionals, or for the advanced student." Review by Denise Grupp-Vernon for Folk Harp Journal "I have enjoyed these pieces for many reasons, but mostly for their very catchy tunes with lots of groove and their so very well placed extended techniques! Each piece is musically satisfying and fun to play." Review by Michelle Velvin and Becky Swan for The Harp Society of New Zealand Caribbean Daydreams by Lauren Scott - from Adventures for Lever Harp
