Autumn's love of music became clear by the age of 6 months, when she started dancing excitedly to any musical beat. Her favorite piece in the beginning was "Beetlejuice", along with anything else by Danny Elfman. She very quickly learned to recognize both the look and sound of all the instruments in the orchestra, her tastes expanding to focus on classical music, and by the time she was 3 she had her heart set on playing the harp. It was a decision all her own that actually surprised mom and dad who'd expected her to first want to play either the flute or french horn. She was consistent in her desire for more than a year so mom and dad finally gave in, purchasing a small Dusty Strings Lever harp and taking her to a few lessons here and there to encourage the desire without overwhelming her. She began lessons and practicing in earnest when she was 7 and has since begun composing her own music as well as performing in orchestras and in solo settings.

This corner of the web exists to keep family and friends up-to-date on her progress and maybe encourage and inspire some other young harpists out there as well.
