Watch the video for information about the Resource


These intensive and detailed video courses range from single courses on repertoire, through to courses with a progressive curriculum, and range from Beginner through to Professional levels.

The participant can move at their own pace, and view the course content at any time. The courses can be revisited as often as wished as they never expire. The numerous close-up videos and photos are an ideal supplement for visual learners.

The Beginner Series is designed those who would like to refresh their understanding of what it takes to play the harp, and for teachers of beginning harp students. They can be a useful resource to refer back to, to refresh basic concepts, or to deal with fundamental tension issues.

Use the advantages of the video lesson format to listen to the differences in gesture, and watch an expert demonstrate interpretation of repertoire pieces.

To include a One-on-one Lesson to complement a course, enroll in a Skype Lesson.

All the courses have a curriculum outline and short video explanation which you can view before purchase.

"These lessons are a revelation to me." M.R.N. Australia


"All of your explanations make so much sense and I love the fact that you're 'visiting' me in my living room. I'm often so focussed on what you're doing and saying that I sometimes forget that I'm watching you on screen. The close-up videos are excellent and the key words in the background help to visually remember the steps." M. N., Germany


"These videos are immensely helpful and invaluable as I relearn this piece! Thank you for this wonderful resource." Z.M., USA


"These are the best instructional videos available! I am learning so much from your courses...I am just learning to play the harp and these videos are invaluable! Your lively explanations are excellent and you actually playing is so beautiful. I am excited learning this technique using your tutorials!" T.S., USA

"Playing and working through the 'let go' as well as the 'release' of the wrist and lifting, has been nothing short of revelatory. I almost feel as if I am in a 'meditative' or 'zen' state as I practice. The time just FLIES by, and I leave the harp, with my hands, wrists and fingers, warm and pleasant, not stiff and 'hurting.' Thank you." J.M., USA


"The videos are so clear. There is no extra talking, no preaching about the harp, no personal stories. It is an excellent teaching tool given by an excellent teacher...I used to be embarrassed raising my arms thinking that was sort of showing off or silly. Now I am aware that raising the arms is part of creating the true sound of the harp and I do it all the time." C.Q., Australia
