How to Make Lap Harp Sheet Music

This video is a tutorial on how to make sheet music for your lap harp.
Making this sheet music does require a solid understanding of how to read and write standard sheet music, and throughout the video I refer to some music theory concepts like keys, scales, and note values, so if you don't have a solid understanding of sheet music, this video probably won't be too helpful. There are lots of resources you can refer to online that you can use to learn, and I plan on making some intro to sheet music videos in the future.
However, if you are able to make lap harp sheet music, it is such a huge benefit! I have been able to get people who claim that they're not musical to be able to play simple songs on the lap harp by having them use lap harp sheet music as a guide. It is really great and easy to use for beginners and I think it's kind of fun to make. I hope you give it a try!
Also, I do plan on making a separate video of the song that I play at the end. It's called The Sally Gardens, and I've already posted a few playalong videos if you're interested.

I’m so glad to have found this video. I’m just starting to read music and was searching without success for sheet music for my zither when I saw this.

You describe the process so well. Do you sell the music that you write for the lap harp? If you don’t, maybe you would consider doing that. 😊

Could you do another vidieo on sheet music for the lap harp. Mine is made by James Jones and sheet music I am seeing do not fit it. Is it necessary to know how to read music notes to make sheet music to fit my lap harp?

[@Anna.Elizabeth.Violin]

If your lap harp was not made by James Jones, then that sheet music probably won’t fit. You might want to try measuring your lap harp and making adjustments to the sheet music you have
