Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been playing viola for almost 20 years and each day I grow more and more passionate for my instrument. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and began my musical studies on viola at the age 4. I graduated from Baylor University in 2013. While at Baylor University I was Principal of the Baylor Symphony and played with the Waco Symphony, Brazos Valley Symphony, and the San Angelo Symphony orchestras. Read More

My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
My teaching experience started several years ago when I was in high school. I was given the opportunity to teach some young beginning string players and I found that I really enjoyed seeing them develop and took great pride in their progress. I then went to college as a string player and played in multiple orchestras and took part in recitals nearly weekly during my time there. After college I started teaching private string lessons at a local music store. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I am a passionate instructor who enjoys working with students of all ages. I started performing, professionally, at a very young age, during my 6 years at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. From there, I attended the Louisiana State University, as a cello performance major and performed with the school symphony, as well as the Alexandria Symphony, the Lake Charles Symphony and local venues. I went on to get my Master's degree at Georgia State University and then returned to Louisiana State University for my final degree in Cello Performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Since at least medieval times. My last name, Harper, is an occupational name for a harp player on the medieval court, an important position that was often hereditary.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would most likely have studied computer science and engineering in college, with a focus on physics and astronomy. I do a lot of amateur observational astronomy and astrophotography in my free time and also have learned basic programming skills in Python and Java.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform Jackdaw for Bass Clarinet and Tape by Wayne Siegel. It is such a cool piece, but extremely challenging to do well. Among other things I am an amateur birder in my free time, so the piece combines multiple areas of interest.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with long tones and other fundamental excercises that focus on scales, intervals, sound production, and articulation. Depending on how long I have to practice, I do this for between 5-30 minutes. My goal is to both warm up my mouth and hands to be reinforcing good habits while also giving myself time to get focused and anxious to make music. After this, I will take out the 32 Etudes & 40 Studies by Cyrille Rose. At this point, I have studied each of these etudes multiple times, but I refer to them to remind myself of the good habits that I learned along the way, while also working to improve phrasing and critical thinking in my playing. Only at this point, after both my warmup and etudes, will I begin to work on repertoire for auditions and performances as well as my personal interests.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music in Clarinet Performance degree from Temple University. I am currently working towards a Master of Music in Clarinet Performance degree at Carnegie Mellon University. I chose this degree because my main goal as a musician is to achieve a high level of mastery and knowledge of the clarinet, and this degree allows me to focus the most time on this goal. I believe that having a high level of mastery on the instrument is valuable not only for performing, but teaching as well.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
My curriculum is student-centric, meaning that lessons look different for each person. This is to prioritize meeting the specific needs of each student and adapting to how they learn best. Some books that I am likely to reference are the Rubank method books for beginners and the 32 Etudes & 40 Studies by Cyrille Rose for more advanced students. I use these books because I have personally played through these books cover to cover and am confident in their educational value to students.
