Let's Make Zither/Lap Harp Music Together!

For those of you with young musicians in your midst, you may have a zither (also known as a lap harp). Popular with the Montessori crowd, this is a great way to introduce young kids to music, and to give them the feeling of success early on.

Unfortunately, there are not many free music resources available. Many of the units have the same dimensions so I have created a handful of free resources for my fellow instructors. All of these need to print out on legal sized paper. I know this will work with the Music Maker. I hope they work with yours.... what's nice is if it needs to be cut a little differently to fit in yours, you should be able to modify it!

Blank Zither Sheet Music
A blank sheet for your zither for you to create or transcribe your own music.

Some hymns from the Unitarian Universalist hymn book that might work for this:

• Morning Has Broken  (#38)
• We Sing Now Together (#67)
• I've Got Peace Like A River (#100)
• Amazing Grace (#205/206)
