My love of music started at a very young
age playing the violin. My roots are in classical
music
I left the violin and fell in love with the guitar.
I played 6 and 12 string guitars for many years,
playing folk music and Mississippi Delta blues in
bars and honky~tonks in the Northeast.
All the while, I had deep seated yearning to play
the harp after seeing a wonderful gilded concert
harp as a young girl.
So I started on the new venture with the harp. I
found my true love in doing so.
I realized quickly that the harp to me was more
than an instrument. It was an avenue to the
soul. At one point, my mother was in the
hospital. I took my harp and played for her.
At that time I noticed that when I played, her
blood pressure would drop to a normal level.

During this time I would play in various nursing homes for parties and
entertainment. I quickly realized that my harp and the love of my harp had an
effect on the seniors for whom I played.
I found myself enrolled in the Certified Clinical Musician course which started me
on a profound musical and spiritual journey.
And now sitting behind my harp I am an observer to some of the most wonderful
miracles. Volunteering at J. C. Blair Memorial Hospital, Grane Hospice and all
the various nursing homes right here in the Alleghenies I have the opportunity to
provide a simple reprieve from pain, anxiety and the stress that is found in these
situations. Through my training as a Clinical Musician, I am able to help in the
healing process through sound, rhythm, frequency and resonance.
I am grateful to the Divine Spirit for allowing my hands to touch the strings of my
harp.
