Teaching Experience: |
|
My main emphasis is to provide my students with a balanced hand
approach to the harp. I guide them carefully to develop healthy
technique that will enable them to play any kind of musical style.
I have taught privately for over 25 years, and have been on the
faculty of Ohio Scottish Arts School, Beginning in the Middle, The
Pacific Harp Institute, and have taught workshops at the Edinburgh
International Harp Festival and Somerset Harp Festival. |

Performance Experience: |
|
I have been a featured
soloist with the Kennett Symphony, Allentown Symphony, Concerto
Soloists of Philadelphia, Hilton Head Symphony. I've performed
with Delaware and Lancaster Symphony, and the Philadelphia
Classical Symphony and the Wilmington String Ensemble. I direct
and arrange music for the Brandywine Harp Orchestra. We have
performed at the AHS National Conference in Philadelphia, and at
the Edinburgh International Harp Festival in Scotland. |
