All music is essentially a conversation. It's all about communication and collaboration really feels like the ultimate form of that communication between people.

The music is just a mean of transport of the soul of the person who played it to the inner soul of the one who is listening.

Part of the reason I did 'Learning the Lyre Harp' is because I wanted to emphasise the learning part of it.

To me, it's just as much about the stories behind the music, behind the tunes I play as about the notes in the tunes.  It's about getting the listener to connect with my music through the stories, so that they can feel the connection too.

Harp and Connection
are our passion

I started taking harp lessons in April of 2020 when I found myself spending a lot more time at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As I dove into the harp world, I discovered an amazing array of people that are all connected by the same instrument: the harp.

Through my conversations with harp lovers around the world, I came to realize that there is a lot of amazing work being done but are yet to be discovered by many. This gave me the idea of creating 'Talking Harps' with two of my harp friends, Angela and Javier.
