A word from Elizabeth

I am a Harpist. Most people’s response is ‘oh, how beautiful’ or ‘how rare,’ or even ‘how big! Don’t you wish you played the flute?’ Of course not, because the harp is independent, strong and alluring. Playing it requires great coordination and commitment. Visually, the harp is a beautiful instrument. Ah, but the voice of a harp is glorious. Its mellifluous sound captivated me at age 10 during a live performance of the Nutcracker ballet by Tchaikovsky. My heart’s desire is to use this instrument to empower young people from every dimension of life. Music education and performance provides a foundation for lifelong success and enhances life in every professional field. I invite you to browse this site to find out more about me and what I get to do with the harp.

Thanks for visiting,

Elizabeth
