Signing up for harp lessons.
Lessons with Aidan:
"Music is a gift for both player and listener. Let’s make music together!"
The harp may seem intimidating, but it is so rewarding and more accessible than you might think. With some guidance and a little patience, a few months of practice can bring a lifetime of music. Whether you want to play for others or just for yourself, the harp can be a powerful tool for healing and a source of comfort.
Whatever your goals, let us help you achieve them!
What to expect of us:
It all starts with a good stretch and really solidifying technique.
Goal-Based Lesson Planning
Whatever motivates you, we'll build it into the learning process by identifying clear goals and tangible, achievable milestones.
Consistent Lesson Structure
Our general format involves revising skills from previous lessons, introducing new skills when appropriate, and setting practice goals for the week.
Flexible Lesson Schedule
Lessons are available on an as-needed basis, whether that’s meeting once a week, once a month, or scheduling a random check-in here and there.
What we expect of you:
Have fun, seek joy, and communicate.
Cancelling or Rescheduling Lessons
We have a 24 hour policy on makeup lessons — notify us at least 24 hours before missing a lesson t0 schedule a makeup lesson at no additional fee.
Practice Pledge
Even outside of lessons, consistent practice is necessary to improve. Practicing at least 15 minutes per day, or most days, is recommended.
Acquiring a Harp
Renting, borrowing, or buying — having access to a harp outside of lessons is important. When possible, source your harp directly from the manufacturer or a dedicated harp store. Check with your teacher before purchasing.

Things to Consider
(Before Starting Lessons)
That’s okay! You may use a studio harp during lessons until you are able to procure your own. However, without an instrument at home, you won’t be able to practice between lessons. We recommend renting a harp before committing to purchasing one, as a harp is often a large financial (and spatial) investment.
That’s fine! You may use a studio harp if you are unable to transport your instrument to lessons. However, every harp is slightly different and has its own quirks, so it may be difficult switching between your harp and ours until you are more comfortable playing in general.
You’re still welcome here! Life is busy, and some things aren’t flexible — playing the harp should be an outlet to relax, not add more stress. We are happy to work with you on an as-needed basis, whatever that looks like for you.
Contact us! Depending on your location, we may be able to offer you lessons in your home. We currently do not offer remote lessons (Zoom or Skype), so in-home lessons are restricted to the Newark, Heath, Granville, and Columbus areas.
Schedule a lesson.
If you would like to take lessons with Aidan, please schedule an introductory lesson first. Introductory lessons are free and allow for discussing goals, establishing current skill level, and deciding whether we are a good fit. Not every teacher is right for every student, and that’s okay! We are happy to help you find other resources. If you have any questions or need special accommodations, or are ready to schedule an introductory lesson, please contact us below.
We look forward to working with you!
