My history with harp:
My life after taking up harp in 1993 was all about harps and harp music for many years. Playing harp (after earning degrees in music education and clarinet performance) altered the course of my life, both personally and professionally.
My first harp teacher was Roxanne Ziegler, in Rochester, New York. I give her so much credit for teaching me the right way, taking me seriously as an adult beginner, and spending three years with me before suggesting I move on to Grace Wong (Rochester Philharmonic) for some serious pedal harp training. I studied harp formally for five years, with my two amazing teachers, all the while practicing three hours or more every day.
Other instruments:
I have always loved playing music, and I play or have played every instrument I write for, to varying degrees. For me, writing is an extension of playing, which is why I have so much music on this site. I have degrees in music education and clarinet performance.
Me:
I am a lover of nature, animals, pets and the great outdoors. Nature photography is something I do for fun. I currently have a rescued cat (Heather, the stray who came to stay), a leopard gecko, Mango, and Rayne, a bearded dragon I raised from a few months old. Oh, and bug farms. Gotta keep those reptile kids happy!
I ran Blevins Harps for about 17 years, with my husband Dwight, an amazing harp designer. We sold the company in 2018, and Blevins Harps are still prized and loved around the world. I am generally in my studio working on my music projects. Contact me any time!

I get asked a lot about recording my music arrangements (or original pieces) for use in CD projects. Here is some information about that:
May I record one or more of your pieces for my “not for profit” new CD?
If you don’t plan to sell your CD (i.e. if it is to be a “giveaway” to people you play for), the rules are simple. Most importantly, you must contact me first to discuss the matter and gain permission, as all of my music and arrangements are copyrighted. My music must not be re-arranged, made into an ensemble, etc. without express permissions.

You must contact me first to discuss the matter and gain permission, as all of my music is copyrighted. My music must not be re-arranged, made into an ensemble, etc. without express permission.
Additionally, there is the issue of royalties. Royalties must be paid “per track” at the going rate, upon production of the CD. There is a minimum of 200 units. For example, if the going rate is 9 cents per track and you record one of my pieces for the CD, the minimum royalty, to be paid up front, would be $18.00.
