Performer - Arranger - Teacher

Welcome to my website.

Hi and thanks for stopping by.

2008 is on its way with traveling, teaching and performing. I am continuing to pursue “The Workshop Trail” from coast to coast. A very exciting development is my first invitation to teach and perform at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival. I'll play a solo concert on the evening program of the first day of teaching. I'll teach "Jazz Harp -- 1/2 step at a time" to three separate classes. One level will be for introductory participants. Two other sections will be for intermediate players. Each group meets for ninety minutes a day for five days in a row. It's a big study! I'll also give my class called "Leverobics" to facilitate lever movements. I'm so pleased to be a part of this festival.

Locations this season include:

January 19 - 20: St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church, Boca Raton, FL, Brian Davey, Director of Music

March 28 - April 2: The Edinburgh International Harp Festival

May 3 - 4: The Atlanta Harp Center

May 30 - June 1: The Lever Harp Teachers’ Symposium, Allenberry Resort, Boiling Springs, PA

June 22: First Christian Church, Tulsa, OK (concert only)

July 10 - 13: Somerset on the Potomac; Alexandria, VA

October 10 - 13: The Southeastern Harp Weekend, Ashville, NC

October 24 - 26: The Seattle Folk Harp Symposium - Dusty Strings Harps, Seattle, WA

I am always eager to hear from harp friends around the country. If you have any questions concerning concert/workshop locations that are currently scheduled -- or would like to help organize one in your vicinity -- please contact me at rpoolnyc@aol.com.

Best wishes to all,
