Hi everyone
I am a harp student in southern BC, Canada. I’ve been having
difficulties locating harp websites/clubs/programs/conferences and
anything about the harp in BC! What i found mostly takes place in the
States… would anyone kindly help me out? Are there places/websites
you would suggest me to go and ask? Is there any harp magazines you
guys enjoy and would recommend to me? Also, I am planning to purchase
a used pedal harp, but again, as i have said, it seems like no one in
BC plays the harp. Are there places/websites that i can go and find
the advertisments of used harps?
Thanks! Have a nice day!

There is a folk harp camp in Wells, B.C. every summer, I think in august. for more info, go to http://www.imarts.com. tons of people go there, and you’ll meet lots of harpers from all over the place, not just B.C.
I live in Prince Rupert, B.C., and know quite a few harpers in the area(Mostly in Terrace,the next town over) I’m sorry I don’t know of more stuff going on down south. You could always get in touch with the harp makers and ask them.

Hi Andrew!

I too live in Southern BC, and have just started playing the harp a month ago.

This is very late, but here’s what I’ve found.

Teachers:
Alison Vardy (www.alisonvardy.com)
Rita Costanzi (www.ritacostanzi.com)
Elizabeth Volpe (evolpe-bligh@telus.net)

Groups:
Winter Harp (Lori Pappajohn) (www.winterharp.com)
Celtic Woollens (www.celticwoollens.com, I think – check Mytelus.com/phonebook)

Harp Stores:
Aoyama Harp (http://aoyamaharp.ca)
Northwest Music (www.northwestmusic.ca)
Prussin Music (www.prussinmusic.ca)
Long & McQuade (http://www.long-mcquade.com/)

Other:
Celticharper.com lists further Canadian resources in addition to being someone in Ontario (vs BC).

If you’re looking for private used harps, try buyandsell.com.

If you want to know more, I suggest contacting the people above. At the very least, the staff of Celtic Woollens or Ms. Costanzi and Volpe might be able to point you in the right direction.
