Adventures for Lever Harp is a series of books, each containing five pieces specially composed for fully-levered 34-string harp by Lauren Scott.
With no lever changes but pre-set levers from the start of each piece, they are of Intermediate to Advanced standard and target one or two different techniques within each piece.
Book 1 focuses on rhythm & groove in a natural and organic way, however, ultimately the pieces are about having a sense of fun and adventure.
Book 2 explores the extended harmonic possibilities unique to the lever harp through accessible and enjoyable music for the listener and player.

"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 Click here to see whole review
“Fun, festive, and fabulous! These are unique and exciting additions to the lever harp repertoire and are equally as rewarding to play as they are to teach!” Kirsten Agresta Copely
"The music is wonderful, really varied and fun" Elizabeth Volpé Bligh
“A funky repertoire addition for intermediate to advanced lever harpists. I defy anyone not to smile while performing these pieces. They are a great way to master syncopation and percussive techniques within sophisticated, beautifully written pieces”. Keziah Thomas
"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. They are programmatic and will be very accessible to an audience of non-musicians and musicians alike."
