Harp lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering harp lessons
You teach harp to students who want plucking technique, pedal or lever work and classical or folk repertoire. This page covers how to win those students and what to have in order before you take them.
What customers ask
- Do you teach pedal harp or lever harp?
- Can you prepare me for a wedding or event?
- Do you bring a harp to lessons?
- Do you teach children, and do you run background checks?
- How do you teach pedal changes?
- How long until I can play a full piece?
How to win the job
- Ask which harp the student owns or plans to buy, and build the first lesson around that harp
- Demonstrate a plucking exercise on the student's harp so they hear the tone change
- Name the harp type, the repertoire and the first two pieces in the quote
- Explain how you teach pedals or levers so the student can see the path
- Offer a short repertoire plan for the event date the student has in mind
What to put on your profile
- Post a photo of you playing with hand position and the harp visible
- List the harp types you teach, pedal and lever
- Add your performance, event or ensemble experience on harp
- Note whether you teach at home, in a studio or online, and whether you bring a harp
- Post a short performance clip only with permission
Follow-up that helps the customer
- Send a plucking and scale plan for the next lesson
- Recommend a method book or repertoire list that fits the student's goals
- Suggest an event or ensemble performance once the student is ready
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach harp. Have proof of your playing and teaching background ready, such as performance history, event experience or references, and check your state or local rules for business or home-based teaching.
