Harp Lessons
Harp lessons are offered to beginning, intermediate, and advanced students from ages 5 to adult. For students ages five through seven, one year of piano study is a prerequisite to starting harp lessons. For older children and adults, no previous musical training is necessary.
Lessons are held weekly in my home studio on South Ironwood in South Bend, Indiana.
As a harp teacher, I structure lessons around the specific goals of each individual student. We will focus on technique and building a varied repertoire, and well as on music theory, music history, ear training, orchestral repertoire and ensemble performance. Public performances are encouraged, but not required.
All students must have a harp at home on which they can practice. Pedal and lever harps can be rented or purchased from several locations in the Chicagoland area. The purchase of exercise, repertoire, and theory books will be required. I stock all required materials, and you are able to purchase them in the studio.
Monthly Tuition:
45-minute lessons: $89
60-minute lessons: $119
Tuition is paid at the first lesson of each month, January through November. No tuition payment is due in December.
To begin study, I require a free, no-obligation interview/audition. This allows you to see if lessons in my studio will be a good fit for you and your goals. You do not have to have anything prepared to perform for this brief interview.
Acceptance into my studio is not based on talent, but on motivation, eagerness, openness to teacher's suggestions, musical potential, and attitude. Please contact me by phone or email to set up this initial meeting or ask any questions you may have.
