Music

I always count myself extremely lucky to be playing the harp for people, especially during one of the most important moments in their lives. I believe in performing all my music from memory, as it allows more freedom to accomodate any situation without the barrier of sheet music and music stands.

I hope you will enjoy these little excepts of some of my favourite songs. I recorded these pieces on my Salvi Arianna Pedal Harp. I have set out 6 categories with many samples for each. All songs are interchangeable between categories and are merely suggestions.

Please scroll down to see entire list. Thanks for listening!
