Vincent Pierce, Harpist

Welcome! I love to share my passion for music and harp with my community. I teach at home, at students' homes (within a limited distance), and via Zoom. I also teach English as a Second Language (see below for details).

Bachelor of Music Education, Baylor University

Master of Music, UT Austin

Doctor of Musical Arts, UT Austin

Suzuki Registered Harp Instructor

Cambridge Certificate of English Language Teaching for Adults (CELTA)

Experience:

Harp Instructor, Odessa College, Odessa, TX (2015-present)

Harp Instructor, Round Rock Independent School District, Round Rock, TX (2021-2023)

Director, Ector County ISD Harp Program, Odessa, TX (2014-2019)

I also offer one-on-one English instruction online. I am as passionate about languages as I am about music! I specialize in teaching English grammar and pronunciation. My musical skills help with breaking down the specific techniques for pronunciation, so if you're looking to improve your English for work or business, I can help you! If you are a beginner, I can also help you start on your journey to English proficiency. I speak Spanish and French at an intermediate level and beginner-level Mandarin, and I have studied several world languages, which also helps in my English teaching. I can also help students needing assistance with academic work in English. Contact me today! :)
