TEACHING: Lesson Information & Fees
Hannah enjoys teaching both children and adults. Lessons are available in West Linton in the Scottish Borders. At the moment, during the pandemic, most lessons are via zoom.
Individual and / or group lessons available.
Although music-readers are most welcome, potential students don’t need to be able to read sheet music at all. Recordings are provided to enable students to learn by ear at first, with music-reading skills being introduced later, gradually. Reminder tutorials (to help with practice between lessons) are also available at my you-tube channel, covering many of the tunes and skills we will learn in the lessons.
Focus of Lessons
Enjoyment
Fostering a love of music
Developing good playing posture and technique, to ensure comfort and ease of playing
Growing an ever-expanding repertoire of tunes, and specifically continuing to work on and "polish" old tunes, (to build confidence and fluency) alongside learning new ones
General musicianship, listening & ensemble-work skills
Developing confidence in (and enjoyment of) performing in public. (All my students take part in informal concerts, and once they get past their initial nerves, they enjoying playing for each other in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.)

Don't be put off because you don't yet have an instrument. I often have small harps suitable for beginners available for my students to hire at reasonable rates. Harp hire is also available via the Clarsach Society.
