Since the age of three I began to show my fascination towards harp, I would gaze at them on the television and ask to be taken to see the harpist during concerts, if I was really lucky I sometimes got to try the harp! From age seven I spent two years learning the piano and then began harp lessons aged nine.
The wait was worth it and I worked hard to complete all the grades from the Associate Board of the Royal Schools of Music to Grade 8 with distinction and added to my musical experiences playing in harp ensembles, regional and county orchestras, along with providing music during theatre performances whilst I was part of the local youth theatre. I studied for my degree in Music (BMus hons 2.1) at Cardiff where in my final year, after auditions, I was privileged and thrilled to be chosen to perform as the soloist in the Boieldieu Harp Concerto with the University Symphony Orchestra which was a fantastic experience. I also met fellow student Emily Haughton, who is a very talented flautist, and we began working together playing in recitals and at Weddings together. We still greatly enjoy rehearsing and performing together. I completed my Masters course in performance on the harp (M.Mus) at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 2006. Whilst studying for this I took part in a diverse range of musical experiences. One highlight was performing the beautiful work Danse sacrée et danse profane by Debussy at St Mary’s Church in Chepstow and I also gained a teaching diploma from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. I have been teaching the harp since 1998, with one to one teaching and group/ensembles, both privately and for various organisations including Telynau Vining Harps, Cardiff private music service, Cardiff Music Service in Primary and Secondary schools, as the harpteacher at Christ College in Brecon and at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Junior Department. I am also a fully qualified Primary School teacher with two years of classroom experience where ran choirs, school orchestras, recorder groups and music workshops. I am devoted to my work and delight in playing music, I do hope that you will enjoy listening to me playing at your event or a concert in the near future!
