 | Hospital/Bedside Music |
The skills and techniques used by a
Certified Clinical Musician can relieve
a patient from stress, anxiety and
pain. The body can be brought back
to it's natural rhythms. The patient
need not be conscience for healing
to occur. Often times, a comatose
patient will respond to music,
sounds, rhythm and frequency
| Hospice Music |
- At the end of life, therapeutic music
will be a pathway to the transition. It
can provide a reprieve for your loved
on who is terminally ill. For the
actively dying, music during the vigil
provides a release for the individual.
For the family, music can provide
comfort in this difficult time and also
a release for emotions.
| Heart Strings® |
- Heart Strings is a multi-faceted
program with the intent of bringing
the joy of playing the harp to patients
in a chronic phase of treatment.
Patients will learn in a group setting
with others in a similar medical
situation.
The simple act of plucking the strings
and feeling the vibration and focusing
on the action of playing beautiful
music, gives the patient an outlet for
fear, anxiety as well as hope. Many
times patients will retreat to their
instrument as a mean to release
emotions. The program provides
each person a chance to learn tunes
and improvisations. Many will then
purchase their own harp and
continue on their musical journey
| Lessons |
- Harp lessons are taught in a friendly
positive atmosphere. I teach at your
pace. You need not have any
previous musical training to learn the
harp Note reading and ear training
along with arranging will start you on
a magical journey with your harp.
| Hands~On~Harps |
- Hands~On~Harps is a wonderful
activity for your group. Done at your
facility or my studio, I will take you
on a musical journey describing the
harp. Anecdotes and amusing
stories are interjected throughout the
program. All this is leading to the
grand finale where everyone gets a
chance to actually play a harp!
You can set the theme or have no
theme at all, but the most popular
event is the Wine and Cheese
Tasting Hands~On~Harps party!
Get ready to relax, laugh, cry, be
entertained and play the harp!
| Speaker/Presenter |
- An entertaining and most informative
program regarding clinical music
and the harp. Your group will learn
how music, sound, rhythm and
frequency affects each of us. Music
and sound is a doorway to the soul
and to the universe. Presented with

keep your audience entertained as
well as informed.

next dinner party or function.

VAHT works by vibrating and resonating with the tissues of the body, thereby affecting
physiological processes. It also affects the mental, emotional and energetic or spiritual
aspects of the individual. The harp’s wide range of frequencies and overtones are
capable of vibrating the dense, physical body as well as its energetic counterpart,
providing multi-level stimulation and harmonization.
The harp is made of natural materials that resonate with the human body. There is an
obvious benefit when one is in the presence of a harp. The natural, aesthetic beauty of
the form of the instrument, and its production of warm, full-frequency analog musical
information dramatically contrasts with the sterile feel of a CD player with its digitized,
recorded music.
VAHT is often described as a musical massage. During a VAHT session, live harp
music is amplified through a sound table, chair or vibrotactile device. Clients are asked
to focus on areas of tension/pain in the body, while specific tones that resonate in those
areas are identified. Each client experiences the musical tones in different ways at
different times; therefore the therapy is a very dynamic process and is tailored to the
unique individual. Appropriate music is improvised or selected, based on the client’s
needs. When the client is relaxed, abstract thinking slows and awareness expands.
VAHT often produces responses such as deep relaxation, dream-like imagery, pain and
tension reduction, increased energy, increased body awareness, and feelings of being
nurtured.
Imagery often provides new awareness, positive reframing and/or processing and
integration of psychological material. The client/therapist interaction allows for
immediate responses in the course of the session.
