Do you bring your own harp?

Both are possible: her own instrument with transport arranged, or the harp the orchestra or the venue provides. Say which suits the production when you enquire.

How much notice do you need?

Get in touch as soon as the date is known — and last-minute calls are welcome too. Availability is the only real constraint.

Which repertoire do you cover?

The whole classical and symphonic repertoire, opera, and contemporary music.

Do you travel outside the Netherlands?

Yes. Based in The Hague, available across Europe, and regularly in Italy.

What does an engagement cost?

It depends on the dates, the rehearsal schedule, travel and the instrument. Send the details and you will get a quote.

Do I need to own a harp to start lessons?

No, you don't need to buy a harp immediately. For beginners, renting a lever harp is an affordable and practical option. I can help guide you to reliable rental services in the Netherlands.

What is the best age for children to start?

Children can start playing lever harps from age 6 or 7. At this stage, lessons are focused on musical games, rhythm, and building a natural, tension-free relationship with the instrument.

I am an adult beginner. Is it too late for me?

Absolutely not! The harp is one of the most rewarding instruments for adult beginners. It produces a beautiful sound from the very first day, and we customize the music selection to fit your musical tastes.

Do you prepare students for conservatory auditions?

Yes, I offer specialized prep courses covering classical harp technique, sight-reading, music theory, and performance confidence for entrance exams.

What is your cancellation policy?

Lessons can be rescheduled if notice is given at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations are subject to the full lesson fee.
