Harp Lessons : from beginners to advanced levels ! All ages

Hi! I am Michela, Italian harpist based in Haarlem.
I offer private lessons in Haarlem. My aim as a teacher is to give you the tools to pursue your personal music goal and maintain your motivation high.

If music is something new to you, we will do both music theory and harp during our classes. So to set strong music fundamentals.

If you are an intermediate student we will dive more into technique, musicality and set some short and long terms goals to work towards.

Advanced students are also welcome. I can offer music coaching towards preparation for Conservatorium entry's exam, dive more into technique, tackle new repertoire...you tell me and we make a plan!

I have a Master degree from Amsterdam Conservatorium and I have previously studied with Erika Waardenburg, Sandrine Chatron, Gabriella Dall'Olio, Fabrice Pierre, Aneleen Lenaerts.

You can check my Ensemble: Oorkaan Ensemble

For any question, feel free to contact me.

About Me

I am a professional harpist based in Amsterdam. I spend most of my time making classical music accessible to everyone by creating staged concerts with Oorkaan Ensemble. We play for families, schools and everyone who wants to have a bit of fun during a concert ;)
I started teaching 11 years ago and I had a little break from it to finish my studies, deal with covid, and concentrate in performing.
Now, I offer again harp lessons to be able to share the many things music can give: expression of emotions, self-discipline, contemplation, persistence, listening, time-managing and much more!
With my students I want to share these amazing things by teaching and giving them the tools to do their own musical journey.

Medieval, folk and Celtic harp lessons
"I still remember the first time I heard the sound of a harp. I was 8 years old, my grandparents took me to a concert in the small church of Gosselies. When the harpist began to pluck the strings, I was kidnapped by the magical sound that emanated from the wooden heart. The longer the concert went on, the closer I got to the harp... After pestering my parents for a year, I began to study this magnificent instrument. It immediately became a sacred object for me. Thanks to it, I could communicate my feelings, laugh, relax and find the balance I was looking for." My courses are based on the Irish teaching method so first of all to the ear, on the resources that the student has in himself and on the fact that one learns while having fun. I propose a harp lesson: - Medieval dedicated to teenagers and adults for false beginner and intermediate based on medieval music and rebirth, improvisation, arrangement of melodies, ... - Celtic for all ages from 14 to 70 years, beginner level, false beginner, intermediate and intermediate / advanced based on Celtic repertoire and Irish, Scottish and Breton techniques After a few lessons, the neo-harpists will play short and simple melodies until the end of the journey to play more complete melodies that provide accompaniment and use of both hands. Lessons are defined on the learning needs of individual students. Even if I use the Irish teaching method, I will provide the basis for reading the pentagram, for the integration of rhythm, the foundations of harmony so that the student can read a piece of music independently. I live in Italy, so I come back to Belgium about once a month for face-to-face lessons (duration of face-to-face lesson: 90 minutes). Next dates for face-to-face courses in Belgium: December 23 and 28, 2024 For googlemeet courses (3-4x per month, lesson duration 60 minutes) see typical week. Do not hesitate to write to me.

Hanna
Harples, piano lessons, solfège - for all levels and ages - Mechelen, Antwerp, Bonheiden region
The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student. It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect. Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation. Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best. I am familiar with different styles for both harp and piano, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music. There is also the option to work from improvisations. The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

I am a professional Catalan harpist who is currently studying her first year of master's degree in musical interpretation of the harp, in Musikene (Donostia-San Sebastián).

This, of course, depends on your interests and I am flexible to what you can propose to me. Write me and ask without any commitment!

Harples and solfège lessons for each level. By an enthusiastic harpist. Student at the conservatory with experience in teaching.
I am currently a student at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. I'm in my third bachelor's degree. I have been taking harp lessons for 13 years with various renowned teachers such as Eline Groslot and Annie Lavoisier. During this period I also gained a lot of experience as a concert harpist. Including the second prize in the Concours Français de la Harpe (2017). And for 3 years I also give private lessons in harp and solfège. These lessons focus on both (young) children who want to learn harp and adults who want to start using harp. Each student is guided at his own pace and the lessons are adapted to the wishes of each student. Note learning lessons are also adjusted as much as possible to the student's pace.
