Nails to be cut short. _ The little fino-er is never used.^ Thumbs aKvays uprij^^ht,— Ir-^x
finj^er always kept well away, distant from the thumb. Before bej^^inninj^; a scale passaj^'e, always.' fix
the four finders (i. e. the thumb and three finj;^ers) on the four strings.
In playinj;^ ascendin;;^ passaj^es towards the treble, do not let the elbow drop, but raise the elbow.
Tune the harp in the key of the piece you intend playinj^, or in a neij^hbourinj^ kev._ An Eb tunin;T^

In whatever kev you play, the fin^erin^ of the scale is ahva\s exactly the same._ In practisinj^
scales always play firmly anrj slowly, not lightly and quickly, increasing the spef^d only when the fmj^ers
C strinj^s are red, Fstring^s are blue._ Place the fin;;er below the middle of the strinj^. _
Various attitudes are possible; standing^, with the harp on a table; sitting^ on a chair, with the harp
on a stool; sitting^ on a hassock, with harp on the floor; reclininjj; on sofa, with harp held in the arms.
