Harp Tales is a musical children’s poetry album combining fun and thoughtful poems and stories with a beautiful harp soundtrack to help little ones feel more calm and relaxed.
It is available as a free music and story resource for schools, nurseries, children’s healthcare facilities and families at home everywhere. Ideal for early years and primary aged children.
It is being used in Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital as well as various reception and early years classrooms.
“This is a gorgeous collection and will definitely be a tool in my music, brain-break and literacy tool kits.”
Sharon Quinn EYFS teacher, St Marys School, Oxted, Surrey.

Background
I am a music in healthcare practitioner based in Surrey and I have led harp based music sessions with early years children in hospital and healthcare settings for over 10 years.
I am also a keen writer. I hold an MA in screenwriting and have copy-written for a range of clients including MTV and The Discovery Channel.
Live school sessions
If you would like to discuss a live harp visit for your school or facility I can provide small, socially distant classroom concerts working to suit your schools bubble arrangements. Performances can combine Harp Tale poems along with solo harp versions of nursey rhymes, rhythm and action songs, popular Disney and film songs and classical interludes.
Remote ‘Zoom’ based video concerts can also be arranged.
