About me

I am Jantien Schaap, a Nyckelharpa player and teacher living in the north east of the Netherlands, close to German border. 

Inspired by the folk and classical music of the north, east, west and south of Europe, and driven to play different styles on my Nyckelharpa. I use lots of elements from all these different styles of folk, folkdance and classical music as teaching tools. 

I play on a three row Nyckelharpa and a three row Sopranoharpa (Babyharpa), both with continental tuning and built by Nikolai Marks.
