Where can I check the requirements for my harp?

Use Syllabus Finder to choose your instrument, grade and exam route. Check the official harp exam information for the requirements that apply to your pedal or non-pedal harp, including repertoire and technical tests.

Are the Practical Grade preparation books a bundle?

No. This selection brings together the same four scales and sight-reading titles shown in the other ranges. They are sold separately. Choose your grade band and check which books you already own to avoid ordering duplicates. Aural preparation and repertoire are separate from this selection.

How do I choose harp books for my grade?

Choose the Grades 1 to 5 or Grades 6 to 8 book for the grade you are preparing. Scales and sight-reading are sold separately. Use Syllabus Finder and check the requirements for your exam route before buying.

Are these the books for the current harp requirements?

The books shown here cover the revised scales, arpeggios and sight-reading requirements introduced in June 2025. Check the official harp exam information for the current syllabus and any updates before your exam.

Do I need scales and sight-reading for Performance Grades?

Performance Grades assess a programme of four pieces without separate scales, sight-reading or aural tests. Practical Grades include three pieces, scales and arpeggios, sight-reading and aural tests. Choose books that support your exam route and your teacher’s advice.

Does this collection include harp repertoire or Exam Packs?

Our harp collection offers scales and sight-reading books rather than repertoire anthologies or Exam Packs. For exam pieces, check the current syllabus for the exact title, publisher and edition. A technical book does not replace your repertoire.
