Harp, Piano, and Early Musical Development.

Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. A music-rich experience for children and adults of singing, listening, and moving is really bringing a very serious benefit to children as they progress to more formal learning.

For over 15 years experienced Orchestra harp player Rocío Rodríguez has introduced music, piano and harp to young children. Her teaching method is personalized and customized to each kid or adult depending on their musical skills and background to help bring interest in music and develop multiple learning skills.

At Elitharpist Studio, located at the heart of Orange County, Costa Mesa, Rocío offers private harp lessons for all ages and all levels, piano lessons for beginners, and music lessons in Costa Mesa, California for young children along with their parents. Lessons can be done in English, Spanish, or French. A free trial lesson will be offered to welcome new students. For harp students, it is recommended to rent a small harp for the first 6 months. Lessons can be in person or remotely. A free trial lesson is offered to welcome new students.
