Annette's thoughts about teaching:

I like teaching a lot, and I like to share musical experiences with others.

• My teaching style combines oral traditions (lots of listening) and classical techniques.

• Improvisation and interpretation is important for me as well.

• Music theory is a part of my teaching: especially harp students need to know about chords and rhythms.

• Students might choose or specify a preferred teaching method - or get introduced to 'everything'.

• I am open to all music styles. Besides classical music,

I spezialize in klezmer and other East European traditional music.

• I am offering workshops for groups/ for special themes

(like Jewish music) in and outside Chicago.

• I organize Harp Circles - gatherings of harp students and friends,

and we have annual public Harp Class Recitals

Just contact me for lesson scheduling and price infromation.

RENTAL HARPS ARE AVAILABLE (all lever harps)

for students who don't want to purchase an own instrument yet.
