Books

• Mclaughlin, C. M. (2014). I Am Wonderful Method for Harp. Vanderbilt Music Publishing.
  More info

  This is a new method book for the harp. UA students were involved in the research and composing, and students in the children's harpchoir also composed pieces for inclusion.
• Mclaughlin, C. M. (2014). Manifest Moment To Moment. USA: Hay House.
  More info

  This book was published in the spring, and is available in every English Speaking country in the world. It looks at the energy and positive thought processes that allow you to attain whatever you truly desire, from a spectacular musical performance to optimum job opportunities. Supporting the launch of this book there were hundreds of hours spent with: PR experts,Editors, Social Media, and I gave approximately 75 live interviews with radio, TV, magazines, etc. The most notable was a solo 2 hour appearance on the international radio broadcast, "Coast To Coast" with an estimated 2 million people listening from around the world. This outreach is invaluable to the School of Music and our University since it highlighted my research on Sound and Healing, particularly the UMC research grant.
• Mclaughlin, C. M. (2014). You Are Wonderful Method Book For The Harp. Vanderbilt Music Publishing.
  More info

  This is a method book for early harp study that focuses on positive learning skills. I wrote the music over the last 4 years as I did research with young students at St Pauls United Methodist Church in Tucson. Part of the underlying principle is incorporating the joy of performing without the traditional accompanying stress. Towards that end, the students played in concert every 8 weeks, performing their music in ensemble (I wrote the pieces so they could be layered together for performances.) Vanderbilt Music has agreed to publish a second book containing more advanced ensemble repertoire. Those pieces have been written but not edited for publication yet.

Hundreds of hours were involved in this project.There were 45 harpists on one of the pieces, plus horns, percussion, etc. The mixing and editing of the project extended several weeks beyond the estimated time, making it quite stressful to have it pressed in time for Christmas.

• Allume for Flute and Harp; March; CD Recording; Flute and Harp CD with Brian Luce. Included in this are 5 original compositions of mine and 3 arrangements.
• Venazolana for 5 pedal harps; March; CD Recording; This provided an extraordinary experience for the students. Alfredo Ortiz is a Los Angeles based harpist and composer. His record company wanted to feature a 5-harp composition of his on a record being released with the El Paso Symphony Orchestra. Alfredo chose to come to Tucson and record myself and four students performing the piece rather than use the LA harpists who had given the world premiere performance. It was a marvelous professional experience for our U of A harpists.
