About
Hello!
About 10 years ago when I was 49 years old, I decided to fulfill my lifetime dream to play the harp. All my life as long as I can remember I've wanted to play the harp. I'd never touched one but I just knew I wanted to play and more than that I just knew I could!
I'd never played an instrument or knew how to read music. But it was now or never, so I jumped off the cliff and went for it Thelma and Louise style!
So I changed my life, went back to school, found private harp teachers, learned to read music, music theory classes, performance classes, and endless hours of practice to play my beloved harp. And in addition now I write and compose my own harp music.
I've done it, I'm now a harpist ! Dreams do come true with a little prayer persistence practice and perseverance!!

Influences and inspiration
Any composers. I think people that write and compose their own music are amazing. It is the ultimate in self expression. It is a gift not only to the composer but to the listener. Music stirs the heart and inspires us to dance ~ write ~ sing ~ draw ~ and create our own definition of who we become. Who we are molded into.
They kind of music one listens to or writes or composes says a lot about the person. Music is a world language. Music speaks on its own and brings and unifies all of us.
The harp is the very first instrument mentioned in the Bible Genesis 21 verse 4
In Psalm Chapter 33 verse 2 &3 it says;
"Give thanks to the Lord with the harp; make melody to HIM with the harp. Sing to HIM a new song; play skillfully in the strings, with loud shouts."
I took it literally and obeyed God's instructions! :))
