Retirement Communities & Schools

Retirement Communities

Many retirement communities and assisted living facilities plan special events for their residents and guests.  Harp music can add the finishing touch to events such as:

• Christmas parties
• Mother's Day events
• Valentine's Day dinners
• Open houses

 I can provide background music for an entire event (charged per hour of performance time), or I can perform a short concert as part of an event (charged at a flat rate).  Contact me for availability.

School Concerts

I have performed concerts for kids in many different school settings, for students of all ages.  Past programs include:

• "A Magic Carpet Ride"
• "Tuneful Tales"
• "Songs and Dances"
• "Harp Through the Ages"

Programs are interactive and tailored to each situation.  Contact me for more information.

School Orchestra Coaching

Are you a school orchestra teacher looking for a harp resource person?  Do you have one or more harp students in your orchestra?  Or are you interested in how you could start making harp a part of your school orchestra?

I am available to do in-school harp coaching in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and may be available to provide advice for other schools.

As part of my work with music education students at the University of Northern Iowa, I have developed a harp resource packet for music educators, which I am happy to share upon request.  Contact me for information about how to receive this packet or for my availability for in-school coaching.
