HARP LESSONS

Teaching is one of my favorite activities! I have been teaching the harp for over 20 years. I’m a Suzuki-trained harpist and a Suzuki-certified harp teacher. The Suzuki Method is a music teaching method based on the principles of listening, parent involvement, loving encouragement, constant repetition, and performance opportunities. The method favors learning technical skills through song-playing rather than route exercises. Teachers of the Suzuki Method believe that all children can learn to play an instrument well. To learn more about the Suzuki Method you can visit https://suzukiassociation.org.

In addition to Suzuki repetoire, I help my students to develop a strong theory and sight reading foundation. We work on ensemble music, orchestra parts, seasonal and gig music. Lessons are offered in 30, 45 and 60 minute increments. I teach students of all ages and abilities. I also offer lessons via Google Hangouts for students who are not within reasonable travel distance.

Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.
