Learn to Play

For many people, learning to play the harp is a long-time dream. Mary teaches the harp to beginners, intermediate and advanced students mainly from Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties.  Students’ ages range from children to teenagers and adults. Why not take lessons now? Lessons are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes depending on the student’s age and experience.

Most students begin on a smaller lever harp. If they continue to progress and would like to move to a larger harp, they transition to a pedal harp.

Mary has a private teaching studio in western Waukesha  County, as well as teaches group lessons as the Traveling Music Teacher of harp in two Milwaukee public schools. As Mary’s students learn, they have been able to enjoy a number of great opportunities including:

• playing in their school orchestras
• joining the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra
• participating in the Wisconsin School Music Association Solo & Ensemble competition with first ratings at the “State” level.
• participating in (and won) their divisions in the Midwest Harp Festival.
• winning a place in the WSMA State Honors Orchestra
• winning music scholarships for college.
