When I started working with Harrah, immediately I felt comfortable and assured; she was consistently forthright, encouraging and adaptive with her instruction. She embraced my goals and preferences while incorporating repertoire outside of my comfort zone to challenge me and further my aspirations as a singer. After working with her for the better part of 2 years, my vocal range and control improved significantly. Moreover, my confidence as a singer grew as well. As an amateur/beginner vocalist myself, I cannot recommend Harrah enough. She's present and listens attentively - a great instructor. Not to mention, her knowledge of music and the mechanics of singing is unquestionably well rounded and deep.

I studied piano with Harrah for close to 2 years. I always valued her ability to add understandable music theory to the discussion. I appreciated her willingness to assist me in my ongoing exploration of 21st century piano music. Her observations of my playing were helpful and informative.

Harrah was a great instructor! She was always patient with me. I learned a lot from her and did not realize all of the ways you can use your voice. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging.

Harrah was an AMAZING teacher! My son started with her a year ago in Chicago. He was 8 and had never had a piano lesson but loved music and had an ear for it. She encouraged his creativity and was very enthusiastic and explained things so that a kid can easily understand. He loved having Harrah as his teacher. Anyone that has her for a music teacher is very lucky!

I cannot say enough great things about Harrah! She is patient, kind, and a gifted instructor and musician. She always finds the positive in any student and works on growth. My daughter took both voice and piano with her and she was so incredibly flexible to my daughter's ever changing needs. As an educator myself, every lesson I saw Harrah apply tried and true techniques to instruct and it all came from a genuine and kind place. Harrah focuses on that small learning space between 'what's already learned' and 'what's to be learned' (aka frustration) to allow for structured and nurtured growth at my child's pace. Harrah is truly an outstanding and talented individual and anyone would be so lucky to have her as their teacher.

My daughter started piano lessons at 5yrs old with Harrah and immediately had a great impact. Harrah was patient, fun and constantly bringing a great attitude to piano. My daughter's skills are constantly improving and Harrah did an amazing job helping my daughter's confidence grow. I highly recommend anyone who's looking for an instructor to work with Harrah.

Harrah was a great teacher. She was always supportive and helpful if I ever was struggling with something, and she always pushed me to do my best. She helped me prepare for college auditions and get into some great programs! Whoever becomes a student of Harrah’s is lucky to have such a great, supportive teacher.
