Education

After my Bachelor Diploma in Genova (Italy), in 2014 I won a Scholarship and I moved to Den Haag for a six-months Internship at the Royal Conservatory. There, from 2015, I have attended finished in 2017 the “NAIP-New Audiences and Innovative Practice” European Master, which enriched me with many new skills and a greater awarness about Music and its role in our own lives and our Society.

Experience / Qualifications

As harp performer, I am an open-minded and curious player: beside many years of pure Classical repertoire, all through the years I collected many different experiences also in Contemporary Music repertoire, focusing on free improvisation, live-electronics performances, collaboration with composers and experimentation of all possibilities on my instrument. I was part of NOOS Ensemble (Italy), PYO-Palestine Youth Orchestra (Italy, Palestine, Jordan), GEO-Galata Electroacustic Orchestra (Italy), Jeune Orchestre International de Montecarlo and DUO Flauto&Arpa (Italy).

As teacher, thanks to my Master carreer I am trained to lead and teach different kinds of groups, from children to teenagers, from people with dementia to vulnerable groups. In 2017, I was involved as Artistic Producer in an intensive training-programm for teachers of El Sistema Greece in Athens (supported by Impact Hub Athens) analysing and developing the organization of music lessons for children in refugee camps nearby Athens.
I am now collaborating with the vibraphone player Fernan Mejuto Vazquez for the
realisation of our original music workshop format “Around the World”, addressed to children and kids from different parts of the world living in NL, and based on our favourite method and philosophy of working through Creative Music Making and Collaborative Composition Processes, applicable to any kind of group and community.

Beside my teaching activity, I work as Production Leader and Coordinator at the Royal Conservatory of Den Haag, organising music events for students. This job has certainly taught me a lot about reliability, responsibility, flexibility and punctuality: all these skills undoubtedly characterize every aspect of my working life, without a doubt also that of teacher.

Medieval, folk and Celtic harp lessons
"I still remember the first time I heard the sounds of a harp, when I was 8, my grandparents took me to a concert in the little church in Gosselies. To pinch the strings, I was kidnapped by the magic sound that came from the heart of the woods.The longer the concert went on, the closer I got to the harp ... After harassing my parents for a year, I started To study this magnificent instrument, it immediately became a sacred object for me, and thanks to him, I could communicate my feelings, laugh, relax and find the desired balance. " My courses are based on the Irish teaching method so first of all to the ear, on the resources that the student has in himself and on the fact that one learns while having fun. I propose a harp lesson: - Medieval dedicated to teenagers and adults for false beginner and intermediate based on medieval music and rebirth, improvisation, arrangement of melodies, ... - Celtic for all ages from 14 to 70 years, beginner level, false beginner, intermediate and intermediate / advanced based on Celtic repertoire and Irish, Scottish and Breton techniques After a few lessons, the neo-harpists will play short and simple melodies until the end of the journey to play more complete melodies that provide accompaniment and use of both hands. Lessons are defined on the learning needs of individual students. Even if I use the Irish teaching method, I will provide the basis for reading the pentagram, for the integration of rhythm, the foundations of harmony so that the student can read a piece of music independently. I live in Italy, so I come back once a month in Belgium (sometimes more) for the courses in attendance (duration of the lesson in attendance: 90 minutes). Next dates for the courses in attendance: - a date at the end of February - once a month from May. For skype lessons (3x per month, lesson duration 60 minutes) see the typical week. Do not hesitate to write to me.

Professional harpist offers Celtic harp and pedal lessons for all levels and ages
I am a professional Catalan harpist who is currently studying her first year of master's degree in musical interpretation of the harp, in Musikene (Donostia-San Sebastián). I teach people of all ages and all levels: initiation, elementary, professional ... My specialty is harp and I am not adapted to give classes at my home, at the student's and even online. I adapt to what everyone wants, both frequent and sporadic classes.

This, of course, depends on your interests and I am flexible to what you can propose to me. Write me and ask without any commitment!

I propose to share my passion for music with you! Develop the musical ear, the technique of games, the goal being to play above all for the pleasure and the joy of discovering.

I'm curious to see how the music takes shape differently for everyone.

Eleonora
Harp and Music Theory/Solfege lessons, for adults and children. Harpe et Solfège cours pour enfants et adults
FR Je suis une professeur passionnée et j'ai plus de 10 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement de la harpe, de la formation musicale et de la théorie musicale à plusieurs niveaux, à partir des enfants aux adultes. J'ai travaillé soit comme professeur privée pendant des années, soit dans l'école de musique de ma ville natale en Italie (Scuola di Musica "Luigi Rachel"). J'adore créer une atmosphère d'apprentissage positive, permettant à l'étudiant(e) de se sentir à l'aise et stimulé(e), qu'il/elle soit un(e) musicien(ne) débutant(e) ou avancé(e). Chaque étudiant(e) a sa propre méthode d'étude faite sur mesure pour progresser à son rythme et j'écoute avec attention chaque demande, afin de booster son attitude naturelle pour l'apprentissage. Je porte une attention particulière aux préférences de l'élève, en termes de répertoire et d'objectifs, en arrangeant également certaines partitions musicales qui pourraient ne pas être destinées à la harpe premièrement. Ces cours s'adressent aussi bien aux amateurs qu'aux musicien(ne)s professionnel(le)s, jeunes ou adultes. Il n'est pas nécessaire de connaître la musique (lecture de notes et solfège) ou d'avoir déjà joué d'un instrument pour apprendre à jouer de la harpe. Ma méthode est organisée de manière à ce que la théorie soit apprise par la pratique. Vous découvrirez rapidement que la harpe, contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, est un instrument très facile à jouer ! Ma langue maternelle est l'italien, mais je parle aussi couramment l'anglais et le français. J'ai hâte de vous rencontrer, Eleonora EN I am an enthusiastic teacher and I have more than 10 years experience in teaching harp, solfège, music theory and harmony on many levels, from children to adults. I have been working both as a private teacher and in my hometown's school of music in Italy (Scuola di Musica "Luigi Rachel"). I love to create a positive learning environment allowing the student to feel comfortable and stimulated, whether he/she is a beginner or an advanced musician. Every student will have a tailored method of study for progressing at their own pace and I will carefully listen to every request. I pay close attention to the student's preferences, in terms of repertoire and goals, also arranging some musical scores that might not be intended for the harp in the first place. These classes are either intended for amateurs or aspiring professional musicians, young or adult learners. It is not necessary to know music theory (note reading or solfège) beforehand or to have already played an instrument in order to learn to play the harp. My method is organised in such a way that theory is learned through practice and playing. You will soon discover that the harp, unlike what it may seem, is a very easy instrument with which to start diving into the musical world! My mother tongue is Italian, but I am also fluent in English and French. I'm looking forward to meeting you, Eleonora

I am currently a student at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. I am in my third bachelor.

Custom harples! For both the beginner and the advanced, from classical to pop!
Looking for a harp teacher? Then you've come to the right place! I teach both the novice and the advanced student. (valve harp + pedal harp) I myself graduated as a professional harpist and above that I obtained an educational master, since teaching has always been my passion. My way of teaching is strongly adapted to the wishes and level of the student. I myself like to involve games in class because from my experience this helps the younger students a lot. You can come to me for classical music, but also pop music, Celtic / folk music, contemporary music and Spanish music is possible! It is also possible to make your own songs or covers on the harp together with the student!
