This Group is for all people who are interested in the Harp. Here we will discuss the harp. Folk Harp, Concert Harp, ethnic verities and the lyre.

We will discuss the harp lessons and classes offered here at my home and school. We call this place “Avalon of Bedford.” My vision for my school and students is much the same as my teacher’s, teacher’s, teacher, the great Carlos Salzedo:

"Establishing the harp as a medium of high significance between the invisible and our world."

Here we study using my beginner method, “The Geoffrey Harp School Level I.” Next we proceed to the “Grossi Metodo per Arpa” for exercises and studies, don’t worry we translate the Italian for you. For further description of a good healthy hand position and specialized harp notation we move forward to “Method for Harp,” Lawrence/Salzedo and Salzedo’s, “Modern Method.” Music theory is covered in lessons. It’s not all music theory and exercises, we teach you how to play from a “Fake Book,” with decorations from your own musical imagination, in other words we teach you the art of improvisation. Another field we are researching here is music therapy services and harp music meditation.

To sign up for lessons or hire a harpist please call us.
