About

Julietta is passionate about the art of teaching and has enjoyed working with a diverse range of students including children, adults, and students with special needs. Her approach is flexible, assisting students in achieving their individual goals. She has developed a harp curriculum for adult beginners called “Classics at Your Fingertips” and “Technique at Your Fingertips” books1-5. She has also developed a harp curriculum for children called “Plucky Bunny’s Harp Adventures” books 1-3. In addition to being well-grounded in technique, students are encouraged to explore a wide range of repertoires and to create their own music. Her philosophy in the arts is focused on using creativity to enable healing and happiness for each individual.

As a performer, she is an enthusiastic advocate for new music, and has performed with a variety of ensembles ranging from orchestral to experimental, jazz, folk, and other chamber groups. She also has a passion for a variety of folk harp traditions including Celtic, Paraguayan, and Mariachi.

She received a Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition, minor in Piano Pedagogy from University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she studied with Dr. Randall Snyder. She received her Master of Music in Harp from Northern Illinois University where she studied harp performance with Liz Cifani, and received training in Healing Harps and special education from Dr. Ron Price.
