I am accepting new harp students at select Arlington ISD secondary school campuses!

|
To be eligible for harp lessons at an Arlington ISD school and access to a limited number of AISD instruments, students must be enrolled in orchestra.
AISD harp students may take lessons with Kela Walton or with any other AISD Private Lesson Program (APLP) approved harp teacher. Scholarships for APLP harp lesson tuition may be available! Prospective new students are encouraged to fill out this form and read more about my studio policies. You are also welcome to contact me for more information, and to see if your AISD campus has harps available. |
I Expect All Harp Students To:
- Aspire to Learn to play the harp well.
- Approach my suggestions with an open mind.
- Have a teacher-approved lever or pedal harp at home or school for daily practice as well as the required materials listed and linked on the Student Supplies page.
- Devote ample daily practice time between lessons in addition to time spent in ensemble rehearsals in order to attempt new ways of playing.
- Make every good faith effort to attend lessons regularly.
- Listen to harp recordings of pieces they study and perform as part of their daily practice.
- Attend harp-related concerts, where the students themselves do not perform.
- Participate in performance opportunities that are mutually agreed upon by both student and teacher, to develop solo and ensemble performance skills. Performances may include: harp studio recitals, informal performances, American Harp Society events, summer harp camps or festivals, and competitions when appropriate.
- Abide by the studio policies outlined in the Handbook, updated each academic year.
