Harp Lessons in Blossvale. Amazing Teachers.

I like to give my students a fun and safe place to learn music and express themselves. Music can relate to so many areas of our lives and I love to help people see all the insights and opportunities it can give. I want to help students experience how much joy music can bring to their lives.

Dr. S. believes that great playing is derived from great technique. Technique is an essential part of becoming a successful musician. Dr. S. helps her students perfect their technical abilities allowing them to explore vast musical repertoire.

Musicality is what brings music to life. Every musician has their own unique ideas that are expressed through their playing. Dr. S. helps her students develop their natural creative instincts and convey their ideas through their music.

Learning how to play music is fun and rewarding, however it also requires a great deal of self discipline. Practicing your instrument consistently is necessary to become a successful musician. Music is a fun way to learn the value of hard work and self discipline for students of all ages.

Is it hard to learn a musical instrument? That’s usually the first question
people ask. My answer? Not at all! I teach music based on the Irish/Celtic tradition. First, you'll learn to play by ear, and then when you're comfortable with where everything is on the harp, we'll move on to reading notes. Playing in the Celtic tradition is heavily based on improvisation, and learning the freedom of what it means for the music to come from within you. Learning the harp is all about welcoming music into your life, and making it a part of you.

I've been involved with harp for over half of my life, and can't wait to share the magic of harp lessons with you. I love working with students of all experience levels and ages. Reach out today to get started with your lessons!

For beginners, I offer Suzuki method lessons, or a combination of the Suzuki method and other beginning songs/books depending on interest.
For intermediate lessons, I can continue Suzuki lessons, or teach other classical, jazz, popular, etc. music, as well as learning to sing while playing the harp, worship team, bands, and electric harp techniques.
