Jan Michelle Pliler, HarpistA harp is a beautiful addition to a small gathering and bespoke events. The lovely music of a harp brings a touch of delicate sophistication, audibly and visually, and can positively impact the success of a gathering in many ways. I am an avocational harpist and have been a member of the Greater Seattle Chapter, American Harp Society since 2002. I served as the Chapter Treasurer, 2005-2007, and President, 2022-2025. I have provided background music, for business luncheons, art studio tours, holiday exhibits, funerals, religious functions, dinner events and hospice care. I ventured into the world of harp as an adult with a simple desire: to bring the beautiful and soothing sound of this instrument into my life. I wanted to hear it, play it and feel the therapeutic effects of sound that if offers. As I began to acquire the skills, from being a student of the harp, I found my stylistic preferences gravitated towards more delicate and simple musical arrangements. I began to solicit myself as a harpist for hire under "Simple Harp." My repertoire largely encompasses simple yet beautiful arrangements of meditative and light classical themes. This preference toward gentle music embraces a slower tempo and minimal flourishings, that in turn releases the power of relaxation and inspiration. Harpist
