My love affair with the harp has been growing for the past six years.
Ever since I learned how to play my first note I was hooked. By the end
of my first year of harp lessons, I was playing in public and performing
at weddings. I have been fortunate enough to have a wonderful harp
teacher and composer Cindy Kleinstuber Blevins who taught me to play
both the lever and pedal harps.
I
own several harps ranging from a lap harp, three floor model lever
(folk) harps and one concert sized pedal harp. I frequently get asked,
“What is the difference in harps?” The biggest difference in a harp is
the size of the sound board which has a dramatic effect on how the sound
quality is projected from the harp. The kind of wood used to make the
harp also is a factor in how rich the tone of the harp is. The other
big difference is that some harps have levers for changing key
signatures while others use pedals at the base to change keys and
accidentals.
Over the past six years I have played at a variety of venues for
weddings which include out door vineyards, parks, lawns at private
houses, as well as churches and banquet halls. Anywhere a couple
chooses to have their wedding, I can bring a harp.
If you’re looking for an experienced harpist who loves to play and whose
rates are very reasonable, give me a call or email. I give free
consultations for weddings.
I’m available for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays,
churches, nonprofit events, grand openings and any special occasion
where heavenly music is needed.
