Get to know Olivia!
My name is Olivia Higgins and I am a freelance wedding harpist and harp instructor in the northern MD and southern PA areas.
I began my harp studies at the age of ten under the guidance of Elaine Bryant and I quickly fell in love with the harp. Throughout high school I played in recitals, church programs, and with the Frederick Symphony Orchestra.
After high school I attended Gettysburg College Sunderman Conservatory where I was awarded the Wagnild Music Scholarship. I completed my Bachelors of Music in Harp Performance and business minor in 2019 and immediately started Higgins Harp Studio.
I began performing for wedding ceremonies during college and fell in love with helping couples create their dream wedding through the music I play. Over the past 5 years, I have played for a variety of events and would love to help you create a personalized package for your next event!

Currently, I have a private music studio located in Union Bridge, MD where I teach just over 20 students ranging from age 7 to adult. Though most of my lessons are conducted in person, I do have options for virtual lessons as well.
While under my instruction, students will work to build a strong technical foundation and develop expressive musicality. This journey will include a fundamental curriculum that will continue to challenge the student and an assortment of pieces that cater to the interest of each individual student's goals.
