Harpist with a Master's degree and a degree in music (harp), offers complete, adapted and motivating harp lessons for all ages and levels.

I provide students with the tools to become accomplished musicians, encouraging them to ask intelligent questions about the reasons behind the methods. Lessons are taught on Celtic harp or pedal harp.

"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.

I'm a professional Catalan harpist currently working in Germany. I teach people of all ages and levels: beginners, beginners, professional... My specialty is the harp, and I teach 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.
Write me and ask without any commitment!

Learn to play the harp with professionally trained harpist! Whether you're a complete beginner, an advanced musician or somewhere in between my harp lessons can be tailored to harpists of all levels and ages. Every pupil is different and learn in different ways and I believe that it is important to identify what each student responds to in order to get the best results. A solid technique is crucial but instead of repeating various technical exercises which can be a bit tedious, I try to identify these techniques within pieces of music, helping them understand how good technique affects and supports their everyday learning, practicing and performing.

I enjoy teaching both harp and flute at my studio in Worthing and also offer lessons online. I studied at The Royal Academy of Music, London graduating with a first-class Master's degree and an LRAM music teaching qualification. Learning an instrument is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and I teach students of all ages and abilities from complete beginner to advanced levels. Music theory will be integrated into the lessons and you will have the opportunity to take part in performances and work towards graded exams if you wish to do so or just play for fun! Each lesson will be tailored to the individual pupil’s needs, level, and style. I teach a wide variety of musical styles including Classical, Celtic, Pop, Jazz, and more!

I am a professional harpist. I teach during 20 years. I developed my own teaching methodology. This technique has already demonstrated its effectiveness. The easiest for me is teaching in Ukrainian and Russian. I am still learning English and French.

I offer personal harmonica lessons in a variety of genres.
The content is entirely based on your interests and is very much oriented towards actual playing and improvising.
With me you can learn everything you need for the blues harp. From the first notes, replaying your favorite songs and special techniques to fluid improvisation and playing together with other musicians.
I'm also happy to convey a solid understanding of the music theory behind the harmonica, but if you don't feel like learning theory, that's no problem for me.
I welcome adults and young people over 12 years of age.

As a dedicated harp instructor, my primary aim is to cultivate a passion for the harp in each of my students. I accomplish this through theoretical knowledge and hands-on experimentation, ensuring that learning the harp is engaging and enjoyable. My teaching approach is highly adaptable, and tailored to suit the individual needs and learning styles of my students. Drawing from my background in the Suzuki method, particularly effective with younger learners, I strive to make lessons enjoyable and memorable, thereby facilitating quicker and more effective learning.

Starting an instrument, getting back into it, deepening your practice or preparing for a competition...
Each student has their own unique background, their own sensibilities, and their own goals. My teaching adapts to all profiles, with rigor and kindness, in a relationship of trust and shared curiosity.

These classes are aimed at both children and adults, beginners and advanced students, amateurs and musicians in pre-professional or higher education programs. I also support people with disabilities: each learning experience is unique and deserves to be built from who you are.

🌿 What I propose:
- Work possible by ear or from the score, according to your preferences
- Varied repertoires: classical, contemporary, traditional music, accompaniment, creation...
- Work on gesture, sound, listening and posture
- A teaching method tailored to your operation: no single method, but a tailor-made approach

✨ For what purpose?
- Discover the harp, whatever your age
- Resume or deepen your practice
- Prepare for an audition, a competition, an exam
- Explore a new repertoire or develop a personal project
- Work at your own pace, flexibly, without unnecessary pressure

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.

As a harpist I have experience in various styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
In addition, there is also the possibility to work from improvisations and develop your own compositions.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

I find it important to always look at the needs and specific learning requirements of the students and adapt my lesson content accordingly.

My core values: fun, respect, trust, a safe learning environment, musicality, creativity and quality.

In the class, you will firstly enjoy music and then we will play music. I hope my students will all enjoy making music and listening music especially through the harp.

The class provides personalized one-on-one instruction to learn how to play the harp from the beginning and will lead you to have structured progression from basic technique to musical expression.

Passionate about her instrument since the age of 7, she is a high-level artist with a remarkable career. A graduate of the Milan Conservatory in 2017 and holder of two master's degrees from the Lausanne University of Music, she has won numerous prizes at international competitions.

A passionate teacher, she is also involved in chamber music and enriching the harp repertoire through arrangements and original compositions. She has pursued advanced studies with renowned professors such as Gabriella Dall'Olio, Park Stickney, Luisa Prandina, Maria Rosa Calvo-Manzano, Gloria Martinez, Olga Shevelevich, Letizia Belmondo, Eleanor Turner, Fabrice Pierre, and Renaud Capuçon in chamber music.

These studies, as well as the constant and passionate practice of his instrument, allowed him, from the age of 10, to participate in international competitions and win several prizes, such as second prize at the IX Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale Città di Asti, first prize in the solo and chamber music category at the Saluzzo Music Pizzico Competition F. Gatti, first prize at the European Music Competition Città di Moncalieri as well as second prize at the Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale-Città di Treviso 2020.

In 2022, she won first prize at the Lavaux Classique festival with tenor Leonardo Sanchez for the project Los Ritmos del Amor. This success allowed her to present this program at the 2023 festival, accompanied by a personal creation: an interactive musical tale for children, exploring the sounds of the harp and the world of Harry Potter.

Particularly involved in cultural mediation, she collaborates with the Partemus association and participated in a concert for families during the prestigious Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence.
As an orchestral musician, Luna has played with renowned ensembles such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the Valéik Philharmonik, the Ensemble de Joux, the Sinfo Romandie Chamber Orchestra, and the Teatro Coccia of Novara.

Her passion for chamber music drives her to constantly explore new sounds, as evidenced by her varied projects: her collaboration with singer Floriane Derthe, broadcast on Espace 2 in 2021; her arrangement of Variations on a Theme from Chopin's La Cenerentola for harp and oboe, recorded with Edoardo Pezzini; as well as her contributions to the CD Los Colores de Latinoamérica with tenor Leonardo Sanchez in 2022, for which she wrote several arrangements.

Since October 2023, she has actively collaborated with the Opera for Peace association, dedicated to promoting young operatic talent worldwide. It is thanks to Opera for Peace that she has the opportunity to fully dedicate herself to enriching and creating arrangements for her instrument.
