Molly L.Reviewed on 02/24/15Janelle Lake is a talented harpist & very organized teacher. I felt so accomplished after only one hour! She made it fun, accessible, interesting & do-able. She corrected in easy to understand adjustments & celebrated my (small) accomplishments in a way that made me feel so successful in my first lesson.

Sheila L.Reviewed on 12/19/14I had a wonderful time! Janelle is fun, friendly, and knows everything there is to know about Harps. She begins by demonstrating her skills followed by teaching me the basics of playing the Harp. We even got to have a little jam session at the end! I highly recommend this class.
