Harp at Shepherd University

Majors in Performance and Education are available as well as lessons for non majors. We recently received the generous donation of a Salvi Symphony pedal harp that is available for student use.

Harp Lessons

Harp lessons are available in person at my home studio in Berkeley Springs, WV, through Shepherd Community Music in Shepherdstown, WV, and online to students from any geographic location!

Performances

I am available to perform for weddings and special events, church services, orchestral concerts, and classical chamber music concerts with my partner, Raymond Irving, double bassist, as The Sylvan Waters Duo.
