I
began lessons at age 6 on the organ, piano and flute while participating in chancel and handbell choir; then piano performance
and theory courses through the Royal Conservatory of Music. My harp instructor and mentor is Phyllis Ensher-Peters, student
of Carlos Salzedo at the Curtis Institute of Music and a principal orchestral harpist since 1958. I am
employed at Trinity UCC in Richland as Director of Music/Organist and am a member of the Harrisburg Harp Orchestra.
Since 1984 I have provided music for numerous wedding ceremonies, receptions,
bereavement and private celebrations, restaurants, country clubs, nursing facilites, hospitals, churches, fraternal organizations,
awards ceremonies, museums, television and radio stations, retail openings and events, fairs and festivals. I have been
privileged to share the stage with internationally known as well as many talented area musicians.
I
am reliable, punctual and truly love working with customers to create a meaningful and unique event at a reasonable
cost. I have primary and back-up instruments and transport vehicles so that you may select your
favorite music, relax and enjoy your special day.
I look forward to hearing from you to make "Beautiful Harp Music" possible at your
event.
