Harp Lessons

As a harp teacher, I provide lessons at beginner and intermediate/senior levels to students of all ages
I adapt my teaching program to the needs and interests of my students. Not everyone is interested or inspired by examination curriculum or festival participation. Aside from teaching playing skills, my focus in teaching is to foster joy and confidence in making music for oneself and to share with others.
