Stephanie Osborne, MM — Now accepting a
limited number of students at my Lakewood (near Long Beach) Studio. I hold a
Master of Music from Indiana University. I teach French (Renie) Method, which
gives a strong technical foundation to later pursue any musical style.
Studying the harp should be fun and I teach with a lot of love, laughter and
patience (just ask my students!), but potential students need to be willing to
work hard to reach their goals, and be able to attend lessons consistently. I
teach all ages and skill levels; I believe love of music and harp are key
elements to success.

Pamela Bruner, Celtic/folk harp — I have been
teaching both privately and in workshop settings for over
a decade. I work to help the student fulfill his/her goals, whether it is
to play for themselves, or to become
a professional harpist. I have a strong background in music theory, and
can make learning to read music fun!
I also emphasize good technique, and a relaxed hand, as a must for
comfortable, effortless playing.
Some of my specialties include harp accompaniment for voice and other
instruments, arranging, and composing.
I believe in teaching effectively and gently, so lessons are always
enjoyable, and students grow in confidence
as they do in skill.
