Once Sharon discovered the harp in her twenties, she immediately plunged into acquiring the necessary skills to play, teach, and perform music. From studying with harpers such as Mary MacMaster, Patsy Seddon, and Judith Peacock Cummings, to playing in "innumerable" sessions, to taking three years of college courses in music theory, singing, chorus, music history, and piano as well as many workshops, Sharon devoted herself to becoming a serious musician. With her customary thoroughness, she took the time to acquaint herself with the pedal harp, to better enable her help students making the transition from pedal to lever harp.
Sharon, who is most comfortable playing by ear, is a masterful accompanist and has performed in Hen with Sue Richards and Fynesound, a larger ensemble which also includes a dancer. She currently performs solo, in a duo with husband John, in another duo with soprano Stephanie Roelker, in an Irish instrumental ensemble called The Morning Star and in a trio with record label owner Maggie Sansone. She has also recorded with claw hammer banjo player Joe Trudeau. This recording is unique.
Sharon teaches harp all over the USA, and is a respected adjudicator with the Scottish Harp Society of America. She also runs an internationally-recognized concert series out of her home near Gettysburg, PA.
Her CDs are Ferry Cottage (with husband, John), Almost Home and Christmas Joy (Fynesound), HEN by HEN, Highland Echoes with Joe Trudeau, Cold Frosty Morn and The Morning Star.
