Information About Lucia - Blackheath teacher

Personal Description:

My name is Lucia and I am a classically trained harpist, based in London.

Besides teaching, I have solo, chamber and orchestral experience of many years.
I am currently a reserve of the Young Musicians' Symphony Orchestra and I have had the chance to perform at famous venues such as Wigmore Hall, Henry Wood Hall and Cadogan Hall.

At present, I am finishing my master's at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, under the tutelage of Gabriella Dall'Olio and Frances Kelly.
Previously, I graduated with first class honours from Conservatorio di Como, Italy.

I took part in national and international competitions, obtaining several first prizes. Namely, in the 2015 Competition for Young Talents organised by Soroptimist Italia, I was unanimously awarded a first prize scholarship.

I have attended masterclasses with renowned international harpists such as Elizabeth Fontan-Binoche, Anna Loro, Judith Liber, Luisa Prandina, Park Stickney, Heidi Krutzen, Gwyneth Wentink and Fabrice Pierre.

I regularly play in both a flute and harp (Duo Images, with Anna Ratti) and a harp and guitar duo (Nazca Duo, with Stefano Fiacco).
In 2018, Anna and I were protagonists of Mozart Concerto for Flute and Harp, performed with MaMu Ensemble and Orchestra Filarmonica del Lario.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching for several years and my students are from different backgrounds, ranging from children to adults, in both music schools and private tuition contexts.

In 2019-2020 I had the chance to work as a harp teacher in two Italian music academies, Accademia Europea di Musica (Erba, Como) and Accademia al Santuario (Rho, Milan).

Tutoring Approach:

I like to adapt my approach according to each student's needs. It does not matter whether you're willing to learn the harp for your own enjoyment or in preparation for exams. I will do my best to help you throughout your journey into the wonderful harp world.

I can teach in different languages (English, Italian, French and Spanish).
