Singing Wings (The Bug Book)

For lever or pedal harp,
mostly level 2,
most pieces are two pages.

There are some very “harpy” but easy pieces in this book. Eight pieces, titled for insects that flutter, spin or leap.

Little Moth Introduces harmonics in the easy, sweet little piece.
Range: D3 - B4

Moon Spinner Spins the hands together, and also give the LH a simple accompaniment pattern.
Range: C2 - F4
Level: 2, a minor, parallel

Grasshopper’s Jig Leaps! Students enjoy this frolicking piece.

Monarch Wings is another student favorite. A study in chords transitions to arpeggios on the same chords.
Range: F1 - D6

Bumble’s Boogie uses pedal/lever slides, and I encourage a little buzzing. It is about a bumble bee after all!

Golden Swallowtail Flits about with a descending LH arpeggio accompaniment pattern.
Range: C2 - C5

Green Dragonfly is the most difficult, but makes a splashy recital piece. Presented in two different keys.
Range: B1 - F5 (in the two sharps version)
