Daily Dozen

“The Harpist’s Daily Dozen can be used by all harpists with the exception of beginners. Its aim is to allow busy or touring harpists to keep up their technique with the minimum effort.
One should strictly observe the various nuances, and refrain from practicing loudly unless indicated. Strength-based on loud practice brings about muscular stiffness and thick tone-production. Legitimate strength is the result of correct muscular action…In The Harpist’s Daily Dozen, metronomic tempi have been purposely omitted. Players will regulate tempi in accordance with their technical ability…One ought to repeat each exercise until a noticeable benefit is evident, before going on to the next…” C. Salzedo
