I have had amazing teachers throughout my life. From them I have learned great technique and the fundamental harp repertoire. But most importantly I learned to enjoy music and to express that joy as I play. As a teacher myself, I have incorporated the best things I've learned from each of them. I stress the importance of solid technique and a beautiful, rich tone. I teach my students how to read music and the basics of music theory but my most important goal is to teach my students to love music.
I am currently accepting new students in the Salt Lake area. I teach at my home in Sugarhouse and have both a pedal harp and level harp for lessons. I teach using the traditional method, though am familiar with Sukuzi method and occasionally use their repertoire. I teach beginning, immediate, and advanced players and offer 30 and 60 minute lessons. I encourage performances and offer many opportunities to perform throughout the year.
If you are interested, please contact me and we'll set up an audition. I look forward to meeting you.

About Me
- Jessica at the Harp
- I am a harpist and have been for as long as I can remember. I first saw a harp when I was 6 years old and it’s been my passion ever since. Fortunately, I have great parents who allowed me to pursue my dreams and I have had amazing experiences because of that. I studied Harp Performance at the University of Arizona where I played with a touring harp ensemble. I traveled to China, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, and throughout the US. I was also privileged to help produce and record two CDs. I recently completed my Masters degree at the University of Utah and have been teaching harp to non-majors at BYU for the past 5 years. I also teach privately in Salt Lake and Provo.
