Harp Department - Core Philosophy

Learning to play the harp can be a rewarding experience at any age. My role as a teacher is to guide my students in acquiring healthy technique and general musicianship so that they may enjoy making beautiful music. Through consistent practice and discipline new skills become regular habits. The greatest joy in teaching is helping students develop as musicians and achieve their potential.


Private Lessons
Students may start harp lessons as early as age 7. Younger students are encouraged to first begin piano lessons before transitioning to harp. Private lessons are offered at 30 minute, 45 minute, and 60 minute lengths. Group instruction (for three or more students) is 60 minutes in length.
