Celtic Harp for Kids
Mia Theodoratus, Wednesdays 5pm-6pm

Starts January 25

This class is designed to let your child explore the Irish harp. We will work with rhythm games, singing and playing a few basic tunes. Our first goal is to have fun and make music a part of your child's life. In the process they will learn a bit of the language of music-chords, note names, reading music and playing by ear. The class will prepare your child to either go on to play classical music, rock or traditional Irish music.

This class is limited to 6 people and has a minimum of 3 students. You will need to have a small harp to take to class, a limited number are available to rent directly from the instructor.
