What Kara is
Harp is where Kara began. Today Kara also teaches violin, cello, piano, voice, drums, guitar and early-years music, and Poco a Poco, our early-childhood programme, is for ages 0 to 3. We teach children of every age up to 17, and adults too. See all programmes.
The company behind Kara Music Academy is PT Kara Musik Akademi.
Kara Harps is the harp academy of Kara Music Academy. Follow its concerts and events on Instagram at @karaharps.
How a lesson runs
One student, one teacher, every week. Private lessons are 30 minutes, once a week, on a regular slot, with four lessons a month. Every instrument can be taught online, live and one-to-one.
All scheduling and payment goes through Kara admin, not directly to teachers, so the relationship between teacher and student stays about the music.
Book a trial lesson on WhatsApp. Your child tries the instrument while you watch. See what happens at a trial.
Poco a Poco, for ages 0 to 3, is taught in small group classes.
How our teachers are developed
Kara's teachers are developed through class observation and induction, not simply left to teach.
You receive a written picture of your child's progress each semester. A student's accomplishments are kept in one portfolio.
