Meet the Harp Class for Adults starts May 12th

Adult harp class begins May 12 at The Music Connection in Orland Park. The 8- one hour classes will be held on Tuesdays from 8-9PM and are taught by Janelle Lake. The class is open to adults 18 and older who would like to learn about the harp and receive hands on group instruction. Cost of the class is $210 for the 8 week class.

“The harp is a wonderful instrument for the adult who would like to learn an instrument,” said Janet Kuester, director of The Music Connection. “One of the best things about harp is the beautiful sound a beginner makes right from the beginning.”

She continued, “If a student has previous music background, it certainly helps in terms of understanding the notation. But even if a student is a total beginner, they will be amazed with what they can learn in 8 weeks.”

The class covers: harp care,maintenance and instruction. New beginners and students who have some experience are both welcome. Each week, Ms. Lake performs a short piece for the class. 1 minute clips of various styles of harp playing and music are shown each week. Students play music together and can learn at their own pace.

“ Janelle is a professional, friendly, patient and excellent teacher.” Kuester continued “Learning to play the harp is such an enjoyable and relaxing avocation for adults!”

Harp rental is offered for an additional fee or students may bring their own.
