Preparing

Harp

I am a professional harpist based in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I have a Bachelors of Music in Harp Performance from Duquesne University and a Masters of Music in Harp Performance from Carnegie Mellon University. I have won several national competitions, including the 2015 VSA International Young Soloists Competition and the American Harp Society Foundation's Anne Adams Award.

I focus on building strong technique and effective practice habits to give you the tools to play your favorite music.

I also provide tutoring for the AP Music Theory exam and college audition exams. I loved learning advanced levels of music theory in college and am prepared to help you ace your AP test and continue into more advanced theory if you desire. I love how music theory makes music make sense and I hope that my enthusiasm is infectious!

Class will include demos of lever and pedal harps. Bring your own harp or bring your questions on how to find and rent or buy a new or used harp. Depending on the class makeup, we'll either spend some time playing our harps or discuss a personalized strategy for finding a harp to call your own.

I have been teaching students of all ages since 2017. I particularly enjoy teaching motivated adult students, although my two degrees in harp performance make me qualified to teach up to the highest levels of advanced students. I focus on quality technique and good practice strategies to help students of any age and level progress quickly.

I also perform regularly for weddings and events, as well as in regional orchestras. Favorite venues include the San Diego Zoo, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. I enjoyed playing at the Balboa Theatre with the San Diego City Ballet's 2019 production of The Nutcracker.
