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.
