Harp lessons for beginners and advanced students in Paris or online, Yale graduate harpist

Heloise has been teaching our daughter on the harp. Even though it is virtual, Heloise has done a wonderful job forming an enjoyable teaching partnership with our daughter with great results. She has also sent our daughter numerous additional resources to enhance our daughter's enjoyment and learning. A very dedicated, personable professional.

My daughter has been studying with Héloïse for 18 months. Héloïse is kind, encouraging, and each week pushes my daughter to excel. I believe my daughter is getting a fabulous well-rounded education as Héloïse balances technique, musicality, theory, and memorization. I am very impressed with her ability to teach remotely and help my daughter progress, despite not being in person at the moment. She is an incredibly talented musician, but also a gifted teacher and I am so happy that my daughter has the chance to study with her.

Héloïse is a kind, knowledgeable, and patient instructor. She is especially attentive to her students’ form, using creative visuals and analogies to help her students remember how to play properly to ensure that they develop healthy habits that will not lead to injury. Héloïse caters to her students’ interests and meets them at their level; although she is an incredibly accomplished musician, she welcomed me to the instrument as an adult beginner and always made me feel as though I were capable of playing the harp. I only have positive things to say about Héloïse; take lessons from her, and you will certainly be in good hands!

Heloise provides a type of instruction that is just so fitting to the nature of the instrument that you can't help but feel like you are getting the full harp experience. She expertly blends a kind of light hearted and approachable method to musical education alongside a sense that you can, if you do the work, actually play this rather mysterious musical sculpture that sits beautifully, but intimidatingly in your living room. I couldn't read a note of music, and, in the most literal sense, didn't even know which end to start from with my modest student harp. Yet, within 4 months, she had me working through challenging etudes, practicing small pieces, and sight-reading during our lessons. I am no protege, and things remained slow, but Heloise's mastery of her instrument makes one believe that they can, in fact, learn to play the harp competently, and even with a small amount of their instructor's grace.

Je suis heureux de recommander Héloïse en tant que professeur de harpe, de solfège et d'analyse musicale. Elle était mon assistante d'enseignement à Yale School of Music et elle est rapidement devenue l'une des préférées des élèves de la classe. Héloïse est tout à fait musicale, intelligente et gentille, une combinaison parfaite pour aider les étudiants à apprendre des concepts difficiles. Héloïse était également professeur de harpe de studio dans notre programme à Yale; ses élèves l'aimaient et de plus ils excellaient dans leurs performances de harpe.
