I have been teaching the harp for 10 years now, to students of all ages, experience levels, and interests from my home studio in Waterloo. I love teaching!

My teaching style takes a holistic approach, with an emphasis on creative musicianship, while working towards student's goals. In lessons I utilize a mixture of free play, structured activities, technical exercises, and guided reflection. My students learn not just how to play the harp, but to understand music as a language and creative discipline.

As a teacher, I understand that everyone's journey is going to be different, but I insist learning should always be fun.

My aim is to empower students to play with their harp… whatever that means for them; be it classical repertoire, celtic tunes, pop song arrangements, or something entirely their own.

how lessons work:

I teach out of my home studio in Uptown Waterlo. Online lesson options are also available.

I offer weekly half-hour lessons, or one-hour lessons on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Lessons are booked one month at a time, for the same time each week. Commitments are only one month long.

Some student’s prefer to bring their instrument to their lessons, but usually students will play on one of my harps.

I am happy to help you find an instrument to get you started, and have a limited number of harps available for loan or purchase.

a couple other things:

• 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly

• Member of the Ontario Harp Society
• I hold an Honours degree in music from Wilfrid Laurier Univerity, where I specialized in composition, improvisation, and electronic music.

If you are ready to get started or have any questions send me an email, and I'll get back to you within a day or two!
