“I am a curious musician with a MFA from CALARTS. I started my NYC tenure playing in infamous rock clubs like Coney Island High, CBGBs, art installations, fashion events and free improv. Five years I rekindled my love of classical and early music winning several grants to explore my single action. Each lesson is tailored to the student-I am a certified Suzuki teacher, teach at Sarah Lawrence, the Irish Arts Center and Mozartina Conservatory in Tarrytown”

“I have been teaching harp since I was 18, and I love working with students on an individual level, making sure that their lesson time is constructed uniquely to them, since everyone learns differently. I'm passionate about making harp a fun experience, and something to look forward to practicing and performing!
I've studied both the French and Salzedo methods, but I believe that as long as the student's technique is correct and avoiding any injuries, a merging of both is acceptable, and adjustable for each student.
Looking forward to connecting and creating future harpists in the NYC area!”
