You are amazing!! All I can say is "WOW!!" and "Thank you!"
So many of you were willing to make art and share it with the rest of us. You were artistic, creative, and definitely away from the harp. And you made such wonderful stuff!
Here are a sample of the wonderful things people sent. We have art made from pastels, markers, textiles, pencil, and clay!
See the beautiful art at

Give yourself permission – be a mixed media artist
Blogspotters - as promised, from now on, I'll post a snippet and a link here but the blog is moved to my website and I hope you'll join us there. Subscribing is easy, subscribe
and get an email reminder of the latest posts, the occasional free
content, and more as we continue to grow. As always, sharing my
thoughts, occasionally offering a travel opportunity, book or CD.
Being creative away from the harp will allow you to have room to grow. Working in another medium also means learning new things, practicing different things that you need at the harp and having to think differently – even if only briefly. Being creative in any medium will help you be more confident in your capacity to be creative. And while the skills you master may (or may not) transfer – the freedom certainly will.

In the Bleak Mid-Summer…8 ways to stay Motivated

It is the Bleak Midsummer – that time of year when it might as well be winter for all that you intend to go outside! It’s predicted to be about 100o tomorrow – ugh. And raining. The remnants of a tropical depressed (yes, I meant that).
But that’s the thing about the Bleak Midsummer (you might call it the Summer Doldrums, but that’s not bleak enough for me) – the heat, the humidity, the knowing that it will last another eight weeks – all gang up on you and sap your strength and motivation! Who wants to play when you know you’re going to sweat on your harp?

Announcing the Harp the Highlands and Islands trip for 2020!

We are so excited to be planning the Harp the Highlands and Islands trip for 2020. It sounds so far away – and it is…until it isn’t!
This is your chance to see Scotland in the glorious early summer—when days are bright, and temperatures are nothing like you experience at home! Our trip will run 9– 16 June when the flowers are blooming but before the tourists have arrived in earnest!
If you’re not familiar with our trips – it’s your opportunity to tour Scotland with our amazing guide and driver - native (and harp appreciator) David Leitch. And I really look forward to sharing Scottish tunes each day! David continues to build on the resounding success of his customized Scottish Highlands and Islands tours, and we have worked together to expand his tour to include elements that inspired the tunes that harpers love to play.
