Harpist Elaine Christy offers a one hour lesson in Princeton, NJ on a concert grand pedal harp.  "I begin a student with a tutorial on how to hold the instrument, hand position and pedaling. Typically a first lesson ends with the student knowing the pedal layout and having experience pedaling as well as using the thumb and index finger on the purple and red strings."
