REVIEWS

Imogen was absolutely brilliant on our special day. The quality was outstanding and so many people commented on how fantastic she was with a mixture of contemporary and classical music. Her performing as my now wife walked down the aisle is a memory I will cherish forever. Imogen was a consummate professional and attentive to our needs on the day. Would highly recommend her services!

Imogen was brilliant at my son’s wedding recently. She’s a very talented harpist. Everyone commented how lovely it was to have had Imogen play for us. She has a wide variety of music to choose from. Her communication from the beginning was excellent and she even asked what everyone was wearing so would dress appropriately! I recommend her highly!

Perfect! I've had many lessons with Imogen now and only have glowing things to say. Imogen is warm, thoughtful, talented, and has been adaptive in meeting my specific interests in learning harp. Each lesson feels rich and personalised.
Imogen is generous with her time and it's clear that she considers and plans our lessons in the spaces between them. I'm really grateful for the technique and theory I've learnt with her help - thank you!
