Beautiful harp music...
Laura Hoffman brings beautiful harp music and qualified instruction to the Shenandoah Valley and Northern VA.
My life long passion has been to bring the harp to a wider audience. I especially love seeing the joy that children have when they first encounter the instrument. I’ve taken my harp from the end of a dusty road on the Navajo Reservation to behind locked doors in prisons, detention centers and women’s shelters. I’ve played at the bedside
My life long passion has been to bring the harp to a wider audience. I especially love seeing the joy that children have when they first encounter the instrument. I’ve taken my harp from the end of a dusty road on the Navajo Reservation to behind locked doors in prisons, detention centers and women’s shelters. I’ve played at the bedside and in exquisite cathedrals. Wherever the harp goes, its sonorous tones open the heart. If you are hosting an educational event and want to include the harp, let’s talk!
I learned to play the harp when I was 11 years old. It was an easy transition from playing the piano. While studying art at Northern Arizona University, I started teaching private harp lessons and playing with the Flagstaff Symphony.

I learned to play the harp when I was 11 years old. It was an easy transition from playing the piano. While studying art at Northern Arizona University, I started teaching private harp lessons and playing with the Flagstaff Symphony. In 1999, my love for teaching and playing in the orchestra inspired me to get a masters degree in harp performance from the University of Redlands in Southern California. I wanted to have all the skills and pedagogical understanding of my instrument so I could take my students as far as they needed to go. Since then I have had the pleasure of teaching harp to all ages and levels of ability. If you have a dream to play the harp, I can help you achieve your goal. Call me to schedule your tour of the harp! Don’t have a harp yet? I have some rentals!
