Programs

The difference between performance harp and therapeutic harp is in the intent of the musician. As performers, harpists provide entertainment to an audience. Therapeutic harpists provide a physical, mental, and spiritual link to the listener who may or may not be automatically aware of the harpist’s presence. The goal is not to entertain, but to prepare or assist the listener for a healing or transitional experience through music therapy.

Therapeutic harpists do not focus on themselves and their abilities as musicians. The music they play serves the needs of the listeners. This has allowed harpists of all skill levels to participate in our programs because their repertoire, regardless of size or difficulty, can be used as therapeutic music once they have received proper training.
