“Teaching is a passion for me--whether you are just taking lessons for fun, or whether you are serious about creating a future professional career, I will be equally attentive to your needs.

“I am a curious musician with a MFA from CALARTS. I started my NYC tenure playing in infamous rock clubs like Coney Island High, CBGBs, art installations, fashion events and free improv. Five years I rekindled my love of classical and early music winning several grants to explore my single action. Each lesson is tailored to the student-I am a certified Suzuki teacher, teach at Sarah Lawrence, the Irish Arts Center and Mozartina Conservatory in Tarrytown”

“I love teaching harp and singing! I teach historical harp (single, double, triple strung), Celtic harp, music theory, continuo/figured bass, arranging, improvisation, composition, and storytelling with harp. I teach singing for beginning to advanced levels, as well as the art of self-accompaniment. I have given workshops (AHS, HHS, SHF, HarpCon, Elyrica), on How to Accompany Singers, Continuo, Welsh Harp, etc. Lessons are primarily online, with limited availability for in person lessons in Vernon, CT. I perform with both my Welsh triple harp and Celtic harp in Baroque, Classical, 19th century repertoire, and my own compositions.”
