FAQ
How much is a harp lesson?
The cost of harp lessons will vary, but here at TakeLessons, the average cost of an hour-long session is $80. However, we strive to accommodate everyone’s budget. This means that you can find lessons ranging anywhere from $24 to $155 per hour, depending on your preferences. Rates are determined by the specific teacher, location, and type of lesson.
Can the harp be self-taught?
Yes, you can start off by teaching yourself the harp, but if you’d really like to excel, we recommend signing up for harp lessons. When you work one-on-one with one of our professional and certified tutors, you will receive their full attention as they’re 100% committed to helping you learn this instrument. You don’t have to worry about developing poor posture or bad habits because your tutor will nip them in the bud. Perhaps the best part of taking private lessons is that you have the opportunity to ask all your questions and request feedback to ensure you’re getting the most out of your sessions.
Is it hard to learn the harp?
Of all the stringed instruments, the harp is considered one of the easiest to play. That said, how easy you find it to play may come down to what you already know about playing music. For instance, if you can’t read music just yet, then you may find it a little more challenging than someone who already has that skill.
If you’d like to make learning the harp easy as possible, turn to harp lessons. During these lessons, your tutor will break down concepts and give you step-by-step instructions to help you learn your way around this beautiful instrument.
