Student Lessons
There is little doubt among researchers teachers and parents that being exposed to music is part of a complete and enriched education. Music enhances the brains ability to learn. Just listening to music is only a small part of the experience. Students need to touch the instrument be part of what what creates the musical sound. Engaging in the all the parts of playing a musical instrument, both in lessons and in school provide them a strong social and community base and help creat a positive and fun discipline for learning. Typically students begin with the flute or violin or the trumpet and don’t often think that the harp can be just as easily accessible, maybe not at their school but after exploring the options here, you may discover that the harp is not out of reach and is available to explore with more ease and affordability that you might have thought
Whether you are a beginner, or you would like to learn a second instrument, or just explore something that has been just an idea, you are welcome to talk with me about your interests and your goals.
