More About My Harp Lessons
I can think of nothing that I enjoy more than teaching people to play the harp. I especially love teaching adult beginners with limited or mixed previous musical experience who need a friendly and encouraging advocate as they pursue their dreams. I specialize in adult harp students of all ages.
I believe in empowering students to create their own music right from the beginning, and my teaching reflects that belief. With an emphasis on ear-training and improvisation, as well as practical harp technique, my students explore a variety of genres, from classical and Celtic to contemporary and jazz.
I fell in love with the Celtic harp in 1999. I studied extensively with Rachel Starr Ellins and have taken workshops with Christina Tourin, Kim Robertson, Alfredo Rolando Ortiz and Sharlene Wallace. Besides teaching, I find great joy in making music with many friends and combinations of instruments. My other musical endeavors include singing, piano, and arranging and composing.

While nothing beats having a dedicated local teacher, harp teachers are still somewhat hard to find, especially if you live in a rural area. These days, that’s no longer an obstacle, as you can take harp lessons online via Skype or Zoom! If you’re interested, you can read more about my Skype teaching here!
