About Magdalena R.
Magdalena is very happy to be sharing her passion for playing the harp with you. She is a professional working harpist and singer who has travelled the world as resident harpist on the Cunard Cruise line and is currently working on her own orchestrated show. She also has a wealth of land-based experience playing at weddings, theatres and live concerts and is now available to teach online.
Magdalena has recorded 12 albums of her own - bringing vocal , harp and song writing skills to the studio and playing and singing on numerous recording sessions of both standards and original compositions.
Her approach to teaching harp seeks to bring the best out of you through positive encouragement, by finding out what your intention is, and how you visualise yourself as an artist. Although she has a BA Hons degree majoring in music, she does not teach grades as her background is more as a performer and recording artist.
- She can help you with music theory and share techniques and can offer professional guidance and feedback on performing and chat about issues that arise in the business and how to manage them.
- She can work with you to build up your repertoire from classical or folk through to jazz.
- She loves the freedom of improvisation and working with loops but let's firstly tune into what it is that you would like to achieve and work towards that goal.
- She can help you discover techniques for centering to reduce performance anxiety.
- If you need to buy a harp, she can discuss options with you. She recommends renting a lever harp initially before committing to buying a lever harp and later pedal harp.
For beginners and younger students, we can start with 30-minute weekly sessions whereas those more experienced may benefit from regular 45 minutes or 1-hour sessions. She looks forward to helping you grow and seeing you shine with confidence and having fun!
The first lesson will start with a discussion to discover what it is you are hoping to achieve, we will then together design a potential programme that is tailored to your individual needs.
Magdalena is available for online sessions. Do feel free to message her using the button on her profile - she looks forward to chatting with you!
