About Mariah H.
I am a harpist and a scientist. At Brigham Young University, I minored in music, emphasizing in harp, while earning a geology degree. I also performed in the BYU Harp Ensemble. The formal training in harp at BYU gave me good footing in the basics of harp, complimenting my analytical bent on music. I love combining these foundations and analytical sense with my shear love of harp and music. I enjoy teaching, performing, improvising, arranging, and even dabbling in therapeutic music.
I have been playing harp for 7 years. Having begun playing as an adult, I am acutely aware of the challenges of beginning a new instrument, as well as the sense of fulfillment of playing a piece you personally love. Accordingly, I work to understand my students own experience and help them overcome challenges they encounter. I am also eager to find or arrange music based on exactly what each student is interested in. I teach both pedal and lever harp. For students in northeastern PA, I have lever harps available for rent so you can try it out before buying your own harp.
Becoming a harpist is a dream come true for me, and I am excited to help your dream come true, so book your first lesson with me today!

Mariah is such a joy to work with! Her excitement for music and the harp is so encouraging and inspiring! Her fun and bubbly personality will instantly put you at ease, while her knowledge of technique and hand position will help you learn correctly from the start. She also does a fantastic job of explaining things in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand! You will love learning the harp with Mariah!

Mariah is amazing to work with and so passionate on the harp. She also has a few harps available to rent at an extremely low price, so if not having a harp is getting in the way of you learning possibly the most beautiful instrument in the world, Mariah would be a great option for you.

Mariah is an amazing teacher! She is endlessly encouraging and accommodating to what I need/am interested in. She has spared no effort helping me in every way she can.
