Students use Evo's autoharp
songbook to sing American folk songs before picking up their harp.
Next they learn the basics of music theory.
Autoharp is a very accessible instrument, making
it easy to sing and play almost instantly but all the students learn
the basics of music theory before they play.
The skills and music theory are applicable to
other instruments such as guitar, banjo, piano and mandolin.
