about
Welcome to Harpitree!
My name is Harpistina, and I am the founder of Harpitree. Our motto is simple: "Branching out the harpiness!" The harp is a magical and amazing instrument, yet it remains one of the most undiscovered. We are dedicated to sharing our passion for the harp and spreading its joy with you!
My Harp Story
At the age of 10, I developed a strong desire to learn the harp. Growing up in a small town in South Korea, however, access to harps and instructors was limited, forcing me to put this dream on hold.
When my family immigrated to New Zealand at age 13, I finally encountered the harp at a local music school. My formal journey with this beautiful instrument began at 15, and my passion for it never stopped. While it began as a serious hobby, my dedication eventually led me to pursue a Graduate Diploma in Classical Performance at the University of Auckland, solidifying my commitment to the harp.
How Harpitree Started
In 2017, I began teaching two young girls in my town who shared a passion for the harp. This experience sparked a new passion for teaching. This marked the beginning of 'Harpistina Studio,' which later evolved into 'Harpitree Music School,' now with two branches in Auckland.
Beyond instruction, Harpitree has grown to become New Zealand's leading harp distributor, representing prestigious brands such as Lyon and Healy.
Harpitree Online
Responding to global interest in harp purchases and lessons, we decided to expand our services. Harpitree Online now offers a range of online courses, Zoom lessons, and a digital store to serve harpists worldwide. We are excited to continue spreading our "harpiness" to a broader community.
Who This Is For
Harpitree is here for those who, like my younger self, may have lacked access to lessons, advice, or resources. Our digital world allows us to bridge this gap. Whether you are a child or an adult, a beginner or an advanced player, Harpitree is committed to supporting your musical journey with joy and dedication.
