Therapeutic Music

As a Certified Music Practitioner, Karen is trained to provide appropriate music for each individual patient, tailoring selections based on the current and changing patient condition.  She plays regularly at Sentara Norfolk General and Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospitals and has been welcomed in other health facilities.  Bedside music can calm or enliven, but most often is described as “soothing”.

Sunday Morning/Evening Worship

Karen can provide music during any part of a worship service—prelude, offertory, anthem, special music, or postlude.  She can also do special presentations to include interwoven harp music and scripture for your particular theme.

Background Music

A banquet, dinner party, art show opening, tea party or an open house are examples of events where harp provides excellent background music. Even if amplified, harp music remains in the background, allowing normal conversation levels for folks attending the event.

Assisted Living/
Memory Care Programs

Many area assisted living facilities have hired Karen to provide programs for residents. She has unique monthly programs that intermix musical selections and narrative to maximally engage the audience members.

Weddings

Harp music provides a touch of elegance on your wedding day.  Karen specializes in outdoor and beach weddings with her easy-to-transport, weather-impervious, carbon fiber harp.   She offers a repertoire of sacred, classical, Celtic, traditional, contemporary, and original compositions, or a combination of these.

Memorial Services

Harp music provides a calming and gentle presence during an emotionally difficult situation. You may contact Karen directly, or ask your funeral home staff to make contact for arrangements.
