Susan Ottzen

Susan is a practicing professional harpist who has been teaching for 25 years. She previously played with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Her speciality is working with beginning to advanced students, children and adults on the harp or the piano.

The children range in age from 7 to 17 years old, the adults 25 to 70. She especially enjoys teaching mature students. She teaches classical, ensemble (duets), blues, jazz and improvisation.

Susan's students perform at group lessons during the year and attend piano camp and harp camp in the summer. They also perform each year at Fall Fest held at Agnes Scott College, sponsored by Decatur Music Teachers Association, where they memorize pieces, play scales and cadences for a judge.
