Teachers
Formal lessons can be important, especially if you plan on
serious harp playing. The technique for playing a harp is important and
difficult to learn on your own even using do it yourself books. If you
plan to go it yourself, it is still generally recommended that you at
least start with some formal lessons to prevent bad habits and then
have occasional lessons after that. Obviously if you plan to seriously
or proficiently play the harp, regular lessons are highly recommended.
In choosing a teacher it is important that the teacher is familiar with
the technique needed for the type of harp you plan to play and it is
also a good idea to match the type of music you wish to play with a
teacher knowledgeable to that style.
