Like many long-time career-artists, my work combines three areas: creating, performing and coaching others. I love sharing what I do – and the resources and MP3s on this page will give you a taste of what I share in my concerts, recordings and online harp academy.
The free harp resources are some of the materials that I find myself giving to students and coaching clients over and over, as foundations of our work together. I house all these free harp resources in the “Free” level of my online harp academy, “Hip Harp Academy” – so when you sign up for these you’ll get access to the free level of the Academy where you can download these resources, plus get access to my most current webinars and other free trainings. So enjoy!!

“Left-Hand Patterns for Harp” PDF Playsheet
Give your left hand a chance to shine with this playsheet that gives you nearly 20 left-hand patterns you can use with chord charts,lead sheets, folk songs or any music that has chords!
“Harpy Birthday” Free Mini-Training
This online mini-course gives you the foundation of how to create – and memorize – your own version of the “Happy Birthday” song – so you can play it any time, at the drop of a hat — PLUS build your improv chops, make people happy and have fun playing something that’s easy, impressive and full customizable. By that I mean that some birthdays are raucous – and some need to be tender – and you’ll be able to modify the way you play it based on the circumstances.
“Coloring Pages” PDF Download
This is a brand-new project I’m working on and YOU get to be the first to try it out! These are a set of coloring pages featuring “Harp-Ladies” and “Bass-Guys” from one of my favorite artists, Ellen Lebow. I hired Ellen to make me fun images of harps that were part women – and basses that were part men – and I used them in my newsletters and on some of my sheet music.
I also collect vintage clipart borders. So I put the two ideas together to create a set of “Hip Harp Coloring Pages.” I hope they help you embody the spirit of play in your own life and that you’ll expand that spirit of play into the other classes & resources I share here in the Academy!
