Warm-up Exercises
Warming up before practice with exercises like scales and arpeggios is important discipline to improve technique, agility, and familiarity with the harp. I assign a warm-up routine for each student based on the student’s experience and ability.
Theory
Reading music is a skill that will be developed from the beginning, alongside the study of the harp. I address other aspects of theory as needed, introducing pieces that involve and demonstrate the new concepts. That way theory is a tool to understand music as needed - instead of a boring set of rules!
Repertoire
My goal in assigning new pieces is to give the student enough of a challenge to keep them productive during weekly practice, but also to make it as doable and fun as possible! The number, style, length, and complexity of the songs I assign are entirely dependent on the student’s skill level, practice habits, and preference. Students will also learn Christmas music each fall semester.
Weekly Practice Expectations
Consistent and accurate practice is a non-negotiable in music; there is just no way around it! To assist younger students in getting into the discipline of daily (or almost daily) practice, I provide a clear and doable practice chart for each student, outlining practice expectations. I am happy to check in with the student and parent each week to assess how practice is going.
