live screenshot of a video lesson

For people who don't have an early harp teacher near them, I have been offering for a couple of years now online video lessons. The format (and cost) is the same as lessons in person in St Andrews: one-to-one meeting, suggested one hour once a week.

We are using the Skype videoconferencing system. You will also need a broadband internet connection, and a webcam camera and a microphone.

You can use the built in camera and microphone that are fitted into many computers, but quality can vary. I am using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 all-in-one camera & microphone unit which seems to give very good sound and image quality.

If you would like info or advice, please email or call for details. For indication of my curriculum please look at my online tutor pages.

The ancient Gaelic harp traditions of Ireland and Scotland are extensive and complex. There is a lot of lore and tradition. I enjoy teaching all aspects of the tradition, not just playing techniques but also theoretical and aesthetic principles, or history and anecdotes. Whether you wish to play, or just to listen and find out more about the tradition, then as long as you are serious and dedicated I would be happy to hear from you.
