December Harp Music

I have a great and growing schedule this month for harp performances! I'll be playing background music for a special 2-hour yoga class in Fishers. It will be a very relaxing evening. I'm excited to be playing the "Calm Harp" style music, which includes my own compositions of relaxation therapy music. I plan to make a CD soon of relaxation harp music with my "spa" tunes. My titles include "Rainforest", "Circles", "Light" & "Moonstone". I'll post a link to them when I get them recorded for YouTube. Here's a sample of the celtic tune "Far Away".

I'll be playing other gigs at Health Care Centers and already played an annual banquet at the Milano Inn.

A Calm Harp

A Calm Harp is my program for providing relaxing harp music to health care centers and individuals who desire a day of peace and calm, a time to meditate and rest. The soothing tones of the harp have been appreciated through time as an aid for healing and restoring the spirit. Let my harp music bring joy and peace to your day whether in a state of health care or in need of a calm environment from the stresses of the modern lifestyle.A Calm Harp can aid in promoting a calm heart.

Pet Pals

Getting some tunes ready to play for a taping of a TV show: Pet Pals. It's a weekly show to find homes for dogs and cats. I mentioned to the hostess that animals can benefit from harp music, just like humans. Most pets love to lie near the harp and relax from the soothing vibrations. So I'm making a playlist and looking forward to seeing how these pets respond.
