Starting this summer, I will be offering harp lessons at Pine Tree Studio in downtown Jacksonville, Illinois. This is a new space operated by Terri Benz (who will be teaching piano, voice and music masterworks classes), and also features dulcimer instruction with Mike Anderson.
On Sunday, April 10th, we celebrated the new space with an open house. It was wonderful to meet new people and get reacquainted with colleagues from I knew from when I grew up in Jacksonville!
There is a waiting room; a large teaching room for group classes; a library for reading, listening (and coffee!); and a smaller teaching/practice room.
Harp lessons cover classical and traditional repertoire on both the pedal (orchestral) and lever (Celtic or Irish) harp. Students learn Salzedo technique along with music theory, ear training, harp maintenance and music history. Ensemble, performance, and competition opportunities are available for interested students.
You do not need to have any previous musical experience to begin harp lessons. Music reading can be taught along with the basics of harp technique for students who are not already familiar with it. Students ages six through adults are welcome in my studio, and I love working with all levels, from beginners to advanced performers.
Rental harps are available from several sources in Chicago, IL, Bloomington, IN, and other locations. I can assist you with locating a pedal or lever harp to purchase or rent.
Please contact me (1-877-HARP-578) if you are interested in signing up for harp lessons, need a rental harp, or have any questions!
