Ways to begin

Harp programmes for children

1

Introductory / Holiday Programme

4 lessons · From age 6 · Beginners welcome

A gentle, structured start to the harp. From the very first lesson your child will hold a real harp, learn the strings, read a note, and play a simple song — building proper posture, hand technique and a real feel for the instrument, all at their own pace.

2

Trial lesson

1 lesson · Children with harp experience

If your child has learned the harp before and is looking for a new teacher, a single, non-obligatory trial lesson is the best place to start. Dora will assess where your child is, understand their goals, and discuss how ongoing lessons can be structured.

Ongoing lessons

Beginner to Diploma · Exam or leisure pace

Shaped entirely around your child's goals — whether working towards ABRSM graded exams or simply growing as a musician. Lessons build technique alongside genuine musical understanding, with Alexander Technique principles woven throughout.

More than just music

What your child gains

Listening skills

Children learn to truly hear music — to feel the shape and mood of a piece, not just play the notes.

Fine motor skills

Plucking individual strings with precision develops finger sensitivity and hand-eye coordination.

Confidence

Every piece mastered, every exam passed, every performance given — milestones your child owns entirely.

Cognitive development

Learning an instrument builds the parts of the brain that help children think, remember and learn at school.

Discipline

Children learn that small, focused practice sessions compound into real progress — a lesson for life.

A lifelong skill

Few children in Singapore learn the harp. Yours will carry something genuinely rare, for life.

Ms Dora Lim

Trained at the Royal College of Music in London — one of Singapore's first harpists to earn a degree there — Dora has performed internationally and taught for over nine years. She believes every child curious about the harp deserves a teacher equally curious about them.

“She plays with great musicality and produces an excellent sound.”
