Class Experience

This course will combine French and Italian techniques used by Soloists to give my students the best start. 
These 6 lessons will include the following:
Week 1:  Technique for Harp Playing
-Using second finger articulation. 
Second finger scale and a well known simple melody.
Week 2-consolidating second finger and adding the thumb. Exercises to help articulation, and linking this in with a piece.
Week 3-Using third finger. Learning to prepare three fingers together and applying this preparation when playing a piece.
Week 4-Using all four fingers and learning a more difficult piece
Week 5-Finger preparation and introducing a scale with all four fingers.
Week 6- Consolidate prior learning and add a new piece. 
Lessons will contain detailed instruction on building up a good foundation and the lessons will consist of exercises, games and learning pieces.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to articulate each finger, and how to use finger preparation on the harp. Students will aim to play a few short pieces. Students will learn how to play the harp with a combined technique used by soloists. They will gain musical and listening skills.

Hello, after studying 8 years in the Yehudi Menuhin School and gaining a double first class honours in violin and harp, I gained the experience to apply to my teaching. I have been enjoying teaching for several years and I enjoy bringing my passion and enthusiasm of music to inspire others. I always appreciate the benefits of music making,the joy it brings to others,and how it makes you feel good too.
I teach the violin and harp from beginner to advanced groups and individual.
