About Me

My photo
Angela Harman
I teach orchestra by day and dream up crazy teaching ideas by night. My teaching style is heavily influenced by the Suzuki method and I am a certified Suzuki teacher, although I do not currently have any private students due to my busy schedule. I love motivating students to be their best and develop a love for music.
