A Harp Teacher that has a focus on Fun and Technique

Jill W.

I am a harpist, pianist, arranger, composer, performer, and lover of music, with over 15 years of experience teaching both piano and harp lessons.

Although I graduated from Brigham Young University in Idaho with a Bachelors in visual communication, I have continued to stretch my skills as a musician and teacher. I perform frequently and love sharing my passion for the harp and piano through teaching so others can also experience having these beautiful instruments in their lives. I teach piano and harp students of all different ages and experience levels. I studied classical piano for over 12 years, and classic harp for over 11 years. A huge part of my music education was focused on theory and as a result, I have a great love of having a strong foundation in musical theory. When I am not teaching I own and operate The Harp Shop in Rigby, ID. This has allowed me to continue my education into instruments and their manufacturing as well which has allowed me to help students find the best instruments for their own individual needs.

I strive to help my students develop a love of music that can last throughout their entire life while still learning proper technique and theory. I try to help students set individual goals and then structure lessons to help these students reach each of their dreams. Practicing can be hard for any student, but playing music you enjoy can help you stick with it. To inspire my students, I find or arrange music they both enjoy and that will help them progress. I've found that this not only motivates students but also adds an extra fun aspect to our lessons and practices. My passion is sharing my love of music with those around me.
