Medieval, folk and Celtic harp lessons
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
"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.

Harples, piano lessons, solfège - for all levels and ages - Mechelen, Antwerp, Bonheiden regionThe content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.

Laia
Professional harpist offers Celtic harp and pedal lessons for all levels and agesI 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). I teach people of all ages and all levels: initiation, elementary, professional ... My specialty is harp and I am not adapted to give classes at my home, at the student's and even online.
I adapt to what everyone wants, both frequent and sporadic classes. During these, I like to make brief notes from other fields such as history or music theory, so that they are complemented with the instrument, to help their understanding and thus obtain a more complete experience. This, of course, depends on your interests and I am flexible to what you can propose to me.

I am a passionate teacher with over 10 years of experience in teaching the harp, music theory, and music education at various levels, from children to adults.
I love creating a positive learning atmosphere, allowing the student to feel comfortable and motivated, whether they are a beginner or an advanced musician. Each student will have their own customized study method to progress at their own pace, and I listen carefully to every request to nurture their natural attitude for learning. I pay special attention to the student's preferences in terms of repertoire and goals, even arranging some musical scores that may not have been initially intended for the harp.

My method is organized so that theory is learned through practice. You will quickly discover that the harp, contrary to what one might think, is a very easy instrument to play!

Avez-vous déjà rêvé de créer des mélodies magiques et envoûtantes ? Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé ce que cela ferait de maîtriser l'art de la harpe et de plonger dans l'univers merveilleux de la musique ?
Peut-être êtes-vous un débutant curieux cherchant à explorer la magie de la harpe, ou peut-être êtes-vous un musicien expérimenté désireux d'améliorer vos compétences musicales ? Quel que soit votre niveau, mes cours de harpe et de musique sont conçus pour vous.
Je suis une professeur passionnée avec plus de 10 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement de la harpe, de la formation musicale et de la théorie musicale à plusieurs niveaux, des enfants aux adultes.
J'adore créer une atmosphère d'apprentissage positive, permettant à l'étudiant(e) de se sentir à l'aise et stimulé(e), qu'il/elle soit un(e) musicien(ne) débutant(e) ou avancé(e). Chaque étudiant(e) aura sa propre méthode d'étude faite sur mesure pour progresser à son rythme, et j'écoute attentivement chaque demande afin de stimuler son attitude naturelle pour l'apprentissage. Je porte une attention particulière aux préférences de l'élève en termes de répertoire et d'objectifs, en arrangeant également certaines partitions musicales qui pourraient ne pas être initialement destinées à la harpe.
Ces cours s'adressent aussi bien aux amateurs qu'aux musicien(ne)s professionnel(le)s, qu'ils soient jeunes ou adultes. Il n'est pas nécessaire de connaître la musique (lecture de notes et solfège) ou d'avoir déjà joué d'un instrument pour apprendre à jouer de la harpe. Ma méthode est organisée de manière à ce que la théorie soit apprise par la pratique. Vous découvrirez rapidement que la harpe, contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, est un instrument très facile à jouer !
Que diriez-vous de jouer un large éventail de styles musicaux, de la musique classique à la musique celtique, et même des compositions contemporaines ? Quel genre de musique vous inspire le plus ?
J'ai hâte de vous rencontrer,
Eleonora
