Lessons

A focal point of my teaching philosophy is the development of holistic technique: to sound good, playing the harp also has to feel good. To achieve this, I combine French harp technique with mindfulness and yoga practices, allowing technical rigor to coexist with self care. I am dedicated to nurturing my students' physical and mental health to help them become well-rounded musicians who can enjoy a lifelong journey with the harp.

 

The harp is a versatile instrument capable of expressing a wide range of musical styles, and I encourage my students to explore music that resonates with them. While some pieces may be assigned to teach specific skills, I strive to work collaboratively with each student to identify pieces that align with their artistic goals.

 

I recognize the importance of music theory in enhancing a student's overall musicianship, and I incorporate both theory and ear training into my lessons. The depth and breadth of theory instruction are tailored to the individual needs and interests of each student. I aim to empower my students with the theoretical knowledge and listening skills that complement their harp playing and open new avenues of musical exploration.

 

Accessibility and inclusivity are deeply important to my studio, and I offer a sliding scale fee structure.

 

Open communication is essential to building a successful teacher-student partnership and ensuring that every student feels comfortable, valued, and inspired, and I encourage potential students to reach out if they have any questions.

 

I am thrilled to guide and witness my students' growth and achievements, and I look forward to the privilege of helping them discover the wonders of harp music.
