If you are looking for a harp teacher, congratulations you have found one!

My name is Chantal Dube and I teach private harp lessons out of my home in Mississauga.  Many of my students live here in Mississauga however I have a few students that drive up to 45 min to come for a lesson.

Harp is one the the most gorgeous instruments ever and likely the only instrument that is a pleasure to listen to even while being practised   I started to play the harp when I was 12 years old but you can learn how to the play the harp at almost any age.  I have a daughter who I started teaching at the age of 2 and I have taught adults who want to learn how to play harp just because they like the sound of it.  Learning how to play the harp is both educational and therapeutic.

Harps can be an expensive investment so we offer rentals to those who are wanting to try it for a short time before purchasing one.  Our rentals start anywhere from $100-$150 a month.

If you are interesting in taking harp lessons please contact me at info@chantaldube.com or 416 909 9944 for more information.  Lessons will be starting back up again in September as we are now approaching the end of the teaching year.  I teach from September til mid June.  If you are interested in signing up for lessons in the Fall please email me about the recital we will be having in June. Perhaps coming to the recital and meeting other student harpists and their parents will prove to be helpful and informative for you as you begin this new journey into the world of harp!

This month Chantal also participated in the Meet the Musician program offered by the Peel District School Board.  It was a long two days with 6 presentations each day and over 600 students. Everyone one of them got to hear and see the harp up close and touch a real sheep gut harp string.  The children were very well behaved and well mannered.  I am sure this is an experience they’ll never forget.  The look on their faces when they saw the harp was priceless.  When they heard the harp for the first time their jaws dropped.  The sound proved to be calming and emotionally affective to all the children.  The children felt very blessed to have this once in a lifetime opportunity to be so close to the harp.  Chantal didn’t even get to see a harp up close until she started taking lessons when she was 12.  These children ranged from Kindergarten to Grade 5.  None of their teachers had ever had an experience like this before either so it was a blessing to the entire school.  We’re not sure if the office staff got much work done those two days as the music room was located right next to it   However we’re glad that the harp always brings happy memorable moments to others with it’s amazing sound and grand looks!

It’s been a busy month of educating people about the harp and harp lessons.  Chantal Dube showcased her harp at Long & McQuade in Brampton last month during their University Month of March. Every year throughout the entire month of March they offer free informational and demonstration classes to people in their stores.  They feature different instruments and classes.  It was a great turn out, about 20 people came out on the lovely Friday night to learn about the harp.  Chantal played for everyone and talked all about the harp and what it’s like to be a wedding harpist and harp teacher.  Long & McQuade sells small lever harps called ‘Harpsicles’ that are great for the beginner harp students. For more information please visit their store in Brampton.
