Item Description

Harpist Elaine Christy offers a one hour lesson in Princeton, NJ on a concert grand pedal harp.  "I begin a student with a tutorial on how to hold the instrument, hand position and pedaling. Typically a first lesson ends with the student knowing the pedal layout and having experience pedaling as well as using the thumb and index finger on the purple and red strings."

ELAINE CHRISTY is winner of the American Harp Society National Harp Competition and has twice won the Ruth Lorraine Close Competition Award for advanced study. Ms. Christy was invited to perform at the World Harp Congress in Seattle/Tacoma in 1999 and Geneva, Switzerland in 2002.

She is a member of the Richardson Chamber Players, Princeton University.
