About us
What does it mean to Find Harpiness?
Happiness comes in many forms, but for us, it means shedding expectation and pursuing joy. Find Harpiness started as a reminder of how powerful joy can be, and how the harp can be a tool for creating joy within ourselves and others.
Whether you play or just enjoy listening, we believe engaging with the harp adds positivity to the world. To Find Harpiness is to invest in joy, wonder, and care through music — particularly of the harp variety!
What do we offer?
Harp is becoming ever more popular, especially with self-taught musicians. This increase in at-home-harpers is in part due to the relative scarcity of local teachers, as well as an increase in online resources.
As a new harp enthusiast, it can be overwhelming trying to sift through information and identify trustworthy sources. At Find Harpiness, we strive to be a one-stop-hub for all your harp needs, consolidating knowledge and offering guidance wherever possible.
