I need your Help !
I love performing harp music for patients in the hospital, hospice or nursing homes. It is difficult to perform often due to the weight of a full sized harp.
I need your Help !
Full sized harps are too big to carry into patient rooms. Therapeutic harpist use smaller lever harps. as seen in picture above to fit in the room

Thank you to my harp teacher Robbin Gordon-Cartier who prepared me to work with my NOI mentor.
Harpist, Zora Evangeline, coached me during the 2024 summer National Orchestra Institute at Maryland University. The summer NOI provides coaching for me to polish the pieces that I started in February 2024, with my Nat Phil YMP mentor Harpist, Nadia Pessoa using the National Philharmonic YMP lesson bank.
I am performing Etude de Concert by Felix Godefroid for my final class performance. I would like to thank the NOI for providing the opportunity to perform on the Maryland University Lyon and Healy Concert Grand harp. It was an amazing experience.
