Lever Up! Harp lessons and music theory for children and adults

The lever harp is a very diverse instrument, suitable for all levels! In my lessons, I endeavor to help you achieve your musical dreams and goals. Lesson material includes instruction in foundational technique and reading music. I use mostly Irish music as well as classical and church music. However, what I teach can be applied to other styles of music outside of lessons.

Music theory can be incorporated to suit your preference or even taken on its own. I have a passion for how music works, and I love to impart that to my students, effectively giving them the tools to become independent musicians and learners!

Extra information

In order to participate in lessons, you will need: a lever harp (lap or floor model) with at least 26 strings and the F and C levers. I do have a harp available for rent up to 6 months, subject to availability. Other materials will be required based on each student's goals and level. online lessons require a laptop and webcam.

About Me

Originally from the USA, I have grown up in Ireland in a large family. My mom taught me piano as a child and in 2011 made it possible for me to take harp lessons from Siobhan Armstrong, chairwoman of the Historical Harp Society of Ireland.

In music, my passion is to understand how music works and equip others with the tools they need to become independent learners - effectively helping them to achieve their dreams and goals. I enjoy playing Irish music as well as classical and church music! I do not enjoy playing pop/rock/jazz, and I do not use this music in my teaching.

Other hobbies include crafting, baking, and spending time with our family's Border collie! :)

Education

Certificate of Composition with Valley City State University in North Dakota, USA; Grade 6 RIAM Music Theory Exam; Grade VIII RIAM Irish Harp Exam; lever harp seminars with Amelia Romano; private lessons with Siobhan Armstrong

Experience / Qualifications

I have taught privately for about 10 years and have experience with ages 6 through 60! I have also pursued professional development through seminars, workshops, and webinars with teachers like Nicola Cantan of Colourful Keys as well as Grainne Hambly, and I continue to pursue this development.

Indian classical (carnatic and light) music and film music
Music is the basic essence of all emotions and expressions. By learning it, we can admire and understand its beauty and enormity. My objective is to share the knowledge in Carnatic music that I have gained over all these years with the same passion that I learned it with. My teaching techniques involve discussing theories, understanding ragam, talam, and its built, and appreciation of Carnatic, light and film music creations. I would teach and encourage my students to listen to the previously created music and discuss its intricacies. You can learn from the basics to the advanced level along with vocal exercises and breathing exercises required for the music practice. You can get trained to perform in open-stage concerts and competitions as well.

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
