Teaching Philosophy

All students enrolled with harp instructor, Carly Nelson, are offered a well-rounded program of instruction with training in technique, repertoire, theory, and musicianship. Harp lesson students work on solo pieces, as well as other materials that are appropriate for his or her level of development.

Students will work to build a strong technical foundation, develop expressive musicality, and most importantly, maintain relaxation while playing. With any instrument, body awareness and overall wellness are crucial components in learning any instrument and will be an important recurring topic in lessons.  Ms. Nelson teaches students of all ages and tailors the lessons to fit each individual's needs and goals.
