Meet Aidan Iams:
Teacher, Performer, & Luthier
"I love all things harp, and I am so excited to share some of that joy with you!"
Aidan is the founder and owner of Find Harpiness. She is dedicated to improving harp awareness and accessibility, particularly in the Central Ohio area.
On an average day, Aidan works to keep musicians up and running as a violin repair specialist at the Loft Violin Shop in Columbus, Ohio. She also serves as the resident harp technician, assisting with string changes, regulations, and minor repair work.
After years of self-study and solidifying a good technical foundation, Aidan began offering harp lessons in 2023. She teaches absolute beginners up to intermediate players, with a plan tailored to each student and their specific goals.
What sets us apart?
Find Harpiness is a one-stop-hub for harp resources. Wherever you are in your harp journey, we are here to support you:
New to the instrument and not sure where to start? We offer quick-start guides, harp rentals, and lessons for more direct feedback.
In the market for a new (or new to you) harp? We offer advice on what to look for in a good instrument, how to check for damage or other red flags, and links to trusted sellers and manufacturers.
Looking to have your instrument serviced for maintenance or repair? We offer guidance on what can be done from home and what should be outsourced, as well as tips on finding a harp technician near you.
I believe in a student-led approach: I am here to facilitate your learning, not dictate it. Every lesson plan is goal oriented, but flexible to make room for exploration and joy. I'll make suggestions and offer guidance, but your journey is just that - Yours!
