“Thank you for all you do for Thea and her harp. You are a lovely teacher and doing a brill job” Georgia Butterworth, parent Lincoln Minster School.
I
can provide individual tutoring at our own studio or in your own
home on your own harp, this service is currently available in the
midlands area, although other skilled harp teachers can be recommended
in most areas. We also run a harp ensemble in the Derby area, all
ages welcome, beginners most welcome!
All skills can be accommodated for harp lessons, beginners and early grades a specialty, a knowledge of music or piano is an advantage but net essential. Basic, informal music tuition for children from the age of 5 is also available, my youngest student currently is 3 and a half years old.
Harp students can follow an exam based course of study (ABRSM) or a more informal style of learning. I currently have a 100% pass rate at ABRSM and am studying for the CTABRSM qualification.
I am also able to offer advice on the purchase of harps and other harp related queries, having had 10 years experience in the harp making industry at Clive Morley Harps Ltd.

Harp Exams were held at 30 Brompton Road - the home of Harp Teacher Mrs Helen Naylor - once again we had a 100% pass rate and these were some of the comments in a thank you letter from the examiner Mr Gareth Green:
"Just a note to say many thanks for your warm hospitality during my associated board examining visit to your home on December 2nd. It was good to be with you, to enjoy some wonderfully enthusiastic harp playing and to learn a little about the tremendous work you are doing. I must congratulate you on inspiring so much harp playing."
