At Vancouver Harp Academy, learning the harp is about more than just technique — it’s about discovering your unique creative voice and enjoying the process along the way.
Unlike traditional conservatories, VHA offers a boutique, student-focused experience with individual attention, creative teaching, and a warm atmosphere.
With scholarships, flexible payment options, and printed materials included at beginner levels, VHA makes harp study approachable for every learner — whether you're an adult beginner or a family seeking a nurturing, non-competitive path into music.
Whether you're just getting started or are an advanced player looking to refine your skills, my goal is to help you build confidence, stay motivated, and feel supported every step of the way.
