Consuelo Giulianelli is harp professor at the Conservatory of Feldkirch (A).

The Music Conservatory of Vorarlberg in Feldkirch prepares professional musicians with pedagogic and concert diplomas since 1977. High school is at a few footsteps nearby, which gives the students the best possibility to concentrate on their studies. Choir and orchestra complete their preparation. Since 2006 the Conservatory of Feldkirch has become partner of the Music University of Vienna and Salsburg. This allows students to to get a bachelor diploma, after having previously passed an admission examination.

Besides the one-to-one harp lesson, I also teach chamber music, didactic and instrumental practice. In this latter course following subjects are taken into matter:
- First sight and transportation
- Orchestra passages
- Free improvisation, improvisation on given models,    accompaniment with chord symbols,
- Basis for figured bass
