Marcia Dickstein

My approach to teaching is different from many other harp teachers. I don’t believe there is a “correct” way of playing the harp.  I try to build on the individual strengths of each student and emphasize both a knowledge of theory as well as a strong foundation in basic technique. If you have a solid basis you can do anything. I work with beginning children to seniors to advanced college level and professionals. I was awarded 2016 Teacher of the Year by the American String Teachers Association, Los Angeles. Due to my experience with The Debussy Trio, I also coach chamber music and ensembles of all types
