Eleonora Pellegrini

I'm a professional harpist and experienced teacher based in San Francisco. I began studying harp at age nine in Florence, Italy, and hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Harp from Italian conservatories. I have almost twenty years of experience in teaching Pedal and Lever harp to children and adults of all levels, online and in person. My lessons are personalized, supportive, and focused on helping each student develop strong technique while enjoying the music they love.

Learn Classical & Celtic Harp with a Professional Harpist

Have you always dreamed of playing the harp? Whether you're a complete beginner, returning to the harp after many years, or looking to take your playing to the next level, I'd love to help you discover the joy of this beautiful instrument.

Depending on your interests and experience, lessons can include:

• Harp technique and posture
• Reading music and developing music theory skills
• Classical harp repertoire
• Celtic and folk harp
• Learning songs you love
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Improvisation and creativity
• Performance preparation
• Building confidence and good practice habits

For beginners, I focus on creating a strong foundation while keeping lessons enjoyable and inspiring. For more advanced students, I can help refine technique, musical interpretation, repertoire, and performance skills.

I also have a special interest in teaching children. In 2015, I completed training as a certified Music Learning Theory teacher, an approach based on the idea that music can be learned much like a language through listening, immersion, and meaningful musical experiences.

I welcome students of all ages and levels, from children taking their very first steps on the harp to adults pursuing a lifelong musical dream.

My goal is not simply to teach you the notes, but to help you become a confident, expressive musician who genuinely enjoys playing the harp.

I look forward to meeting you and making music together!
