Harp Lessons, Charlotte Area, NC
Contact me to arrange for a free harp lesson and demonstration.
Rental harps are available. 

Learning the harp can be a fun and rewarding opportunity. Your goal can be pleasure for yourself and your family, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the harp, playing for your church, for sick friends, or to perform at Carnegie Hall!

INSTRUCTOR: Joan is a certified Suzuki harp teacher, yet teaches traditional methods as well. Her students have ranged from age 6-70+.

QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor of Arts in Music Education, Northwestern Univ., IL Master of Arts, Kean College, NJ Post-graduate program in education, Rutgers University, NJ

SCHEDULE: For best results, lessons are scheduled weekly, the length of the lesson depending upon age and experience of the student. Regular practice time and determination are also essential. Brains, talent and previous music experience are most welcome, but the smartest, most talented person who doesn't practice their skills will never fully develop their musical potential. Important goals for the harpist are technique and tone quality, which require work from the beginning level to the professional.

PERFORMANCES: Usually students perform as a group, in solos and in duets for the public at least twice a year: once at Christmas and again at a concert in May. They find it fun to share the beautiful sound of the harp with others.
