Harp Instruction

"There is something very wonderful in music. Words are wonderful enough; but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up; it puts noble feelings in us; it melts us to tears, we know not how: - it is a language by itself, just as perfect, in its way, as speech, as words; just as divine, just as blessed..." - Charles Kingsley (1819-75)

John Carrington maintains a small private teaching studio accepting students of all levels with openings on a space-available basis.

John teaches the Salzedo Method of harp instruction and incorporates music theory and solid technique building exercises along with the standard harp repertoire. John's teachers all studied personally with 20th-century harp legend Carlos Salzedo. John enjoys sharing and passing on the insights and training he received from these acknowledged masters.

Coaching, Summer study, Audition preparation and Orchestral literature lessons are available as well.

There are often rental harps available for those students needing an instrument.
