New Students

Thinking about playing the harp? Lessons are taught in person in the studio and online via Zoom. It sounds fabulous from the very first day you play. The harp is capable of producing a wide variety of sounds and you can enjoy playing music in nearly any style. Learning the harp exercises your mind! Students will learn valuable skills that will influence academic pursuits, including focus, discipline and problem solving.

Leigh hopes to inspire musical creativity, a love of music making and the harp. Through individually tailored lessons, students learn harp technique, listening skills, music theory, history, and explore composition and improvisation.

All of Leigh’s students are encouraged to play regularly in recitals, master classes, your own community, and with the North Carolina Harp Ensemble.
