Teaching is one of my greatest passions and responsibilities; I'm excited to share my extensive, unique experience with you anywhere in the world. Work from your home, on your own harp - no travel, and minimal time restrictions!
Currently pursuing a PhD in harp composition, I have over 3 decades of training with some of the world's greatest teachers, plus over 20 years of teaching experience and a vast performance record. Many of my students are themselves teachers and professors.
What current students are working on:
*Technique
*Memorization
*Repertoire building
*Ornamentation
*Playing by ear & note reading
*Improvisation
*Music theory
*Healing harp techniques
*How to accompany one's own singing
*Negotiating the harp gig world
*Recording guidance
*Performance anxiety
A question I often get is, am I interested in working with beginners? Absolutely! In fact, I believe the more beginner the student is, the more expert the teacher needs to be. First steps have a huge impact on all future ones, so it's best to know these steps are solid:
Logistics: all you need is a computer or laptop with a webcam, Skype (free to download and use), and your harp! Payment is easiest via PayPal.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Back in the day, I had to go all the way to Australia (literally!) to work with my harp guru Alice Giles - now learning is so much faster, efficient, and inexpensive. Looking forward to helping you with your harp dreams!
