Julie Smith Phillips

I teach to help my students to become thoughtful musicians & to express themselves creatively  through the harp.  I work with harpists of all ages and emphasize technique, body relaxation, sound quality & musicality in the lessons.  Lessons can be on lever or pedal harp & can take place in person or via zoom. I love helping my students reach their individual goals while learning to be musically expressive. Because everyone is different, lessons are customized to the student and what they want to accomplish.  I help many of my students on audition repertoire (for youth orchestras, college auditions or professional orchestral auditions) and recital repertoire in preparation for concerts or recordings.  We have seasonal recitals in the studio & opportunities for harp ensemble experience.
