"Considerable expertise in interpretation" Belfast Telegraph
As a HPC Registered Music Therapist, she heads "Shrewsbury Music Therapy Unit", she teaches harp and piano and, as a harpist, performs in hotels, concert halls and with orchestras throughout the country including Russell Watson's touring orchestra. In addition, she has done examining work for all instruments at grade and diploma levels and has been involved in the writing of the harp syllabus for London College of Music at University of West London.
Stephanie also performs as a classically trained pianist at venues that have a suitable piano, and where one isn’t available, she can provide her stage digital piano complete with P A system. She performs a classical repertoire, but also music from the shows, films, popular music, fun jazz items, and where appropriate, disney, war time favourites etc.
On occasion, Stephanie has received requests to provide a combination of harp and piano music, and this is usually possible to arrange.
