Corporate Group Harp Classes, Harp Workshops,
Master Classes AND College Seminar
Group harp classes for business are a fun way to get employees to leave their desks for an hour to learn and have fun together. The harp is relaxing and proper technique uses muscles in different ways than employees use them at the computer.
A harp workshop involves the participation of everyone in some way. Workshops are generally centered around one idea such as beginning harp for fun, latin american techniques as played on the pedal harp, standards of technique, or improvising at the harp. Workshops and master classes are given both by Alexandra and by many colleagues across the world.
The college seminar is used throughout the college preparation process from Freshman through Senior year. Before beginning the Senior year, the student should feel confident in their college preparation, and will have assembled their resume, arts resume, their common application, and finalized audition for the upcoming audition season. This seminar's focus is to allow parents and students to be relaxed and ready for auditions rather than struggling to find colleges with music programs when senior year starts.
