I’m grateful to have had some amazing harp teachers (Ellen Ritscher, Susan Pejovich, Lucile Lawrence and Alice Chalifoux) who made a very profound and unforgettable “stamp” on my life. Their complete patience, persistence, and utmost discipline helped me to grow as a musician and person in many ways. I strive to give back to my students what they gave to me.

 

My background is teaching the Salzedo method and put a strong emphasis on technique, learning the basics and standards in the repertoire. At the University of Oklahoma, harp majors are given two private lessons weekly, where students can be given guidance on solo and ensemble music. Harp ensemble, Pedagogy and Orchestral literature are also part of the curriculum. Music minors or students with different majors who are interested in lessons or being part of harp ensemble are also welcome.

 

Private studio: Accepting students at all levels starting from age 6 to 80. Learning the harp can be challenging, so a background in piano is helpful for reading music and developing independent hand coordination. Feel free to contact me with questions about learning this beautiful instrument, or advice about buying or renting a pedal or lever harp.
