Harp 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 alone, 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 in that style.
