Welcome to your harp journey

I'm Toni, and I'm here to support you on your journey.

Whether you're brand new or you're looking to expand your skillset, I offer intro, private lessons, and group harp classes. All the info you need is below!

Intro to the Harp

Want a test run?

I offer 1-hour "Intro to the Harp" sessions for prospective students and anyone just interested in experiencing the harp!

This 60-minute "Intro to the Harp" session is held with my instrument in my music studio in Asheville, NC. You'll learn how to pluck strings to get a good sound, how to do a glissando (the harp-iest of all harp things!), and play a simple duet with me by the end of class.

"Intro to the Harp" is beginner friendly - neither music experience or experience reading sheet music are required.

Send me an email at toni@luxuryharpist.com with the subject line: "INTRO TO THE HARP" and we can book your harp-y afternoon!

Private Lessons

Personalized 1:1 instruction

Begin your journey with the harp! I work with each student to create a lesson plan based on your unique goals and interests.

You'll learn proper technique for playing the harp, as well as how to care for your instrument (like replacing strings!), body awareness and stretches to support your playing, and tools to develop your creative style.

Performance opportunities are available with the Western North Carolina Chapter of the American Harp Society for students who are interested, though performing in concerts is not a requirement.

Harps may be rented pending availability!

Ready to get started? Book a quick consult with me to meet and talk about your music goals!

I may be Ashevilleharpist, but we can work together no matter where YOU are!

Virtual lessons are available for students who want to learn the harp from anywhere! So if a harp teacher is out of reach or you’d rather learn from the comfort of your bedroom, virtual lessons might be for you. Book a consultation above 😊
