Cariad Harmon

British born and New York based singer/songwriter Cariad Harmon has been performing original music in and around New York City since her graduation from Berklee College of Music in 2004. Rolling Stone Magazine has likened her sound to a modern day Joni Mitchell and Rickie Lee Jones and with comparisons to Nick Drake and Norah Jones from No Depression Magazine, she's made a name for herself on both sides of the pond. Aside from performing her own material she's worked in many different aspects of the music industry from artist management to running a successful recording studio before finding her love of teaching right here at NYC Guitar School! Cariad is passionate about music and feels honored to be able to help aspiring guitarists of any age find their own musical voice.

What our amazing students are saying about Cariad:

I absolutely love my guitar classes with Cariad. After every single lesson, I've walked out thinking, 'Wow, I've learned so much in less than an hour'.

I think the coolest part of her teaching, and perhaps the most brilliant, is the fact that she can make the theoretical and technical side of guitar-playing so interesting and appealing. I definitely want to continue my lessons with Cariad.

I genuinely feel I have gained more appreciation for music; I also know I have become a better guitarist because of these lessons!After trying desperately to teach myself guitar to no avail I decided to try out a few lessons with Cariad. Now, I'm HOOKED!

She keeps the lessons fun and knows exactly how to push with me to reach my goals using music that fits my taste.

She's the best!She engages my daughters right from the start of the lessons. She quickly got what motivated each of my girls and tailored the lessons to them. She is realistic about what they should be doing at their age. She is able to manage our expectations about what they should be doing/accomplishing.

The girls absolutely adore her I cannot recommend Cariad enough - she is a fantastically talented teacher! My daughter has been learning guitar with her for nearly a year and loves both Cariad and guitar.

Cariad is not only an incredibly talented performer and teacher of guitar technique, but through her energy and encouragement, inspires her pupils to want to learn and progress as swiftly as possible. Belle eagerly practices each week and is already playing wonderful pieces and songs with ease.

I'm a totally self taught player and felt like I had reached a point where I needed a teacher to help me advance.I called New York Guitar School and very lucky for me, Cariad showed up and I couldn't be happier. She assessed what I already know and what I need to work on and since then I've been improving 10 times faster than on my own. She also listens to what I want to learn and helps me move in that direction.

Cariad really is a great teacher.The best part of all though is that she is patient, friendly and encouraging! I wouldn't trade her for the world.
