Biography:

Mary Jane has spent her life surrounded by music, joining her first choir at the age of three. Early piano studies culminated in conservatory training on that instrument as well as the organ. For over 25 years, Mary Jane has sung, taught and played, directed choirs and ensembles - and loved every minute of it!

While the harp came later, it was love at first sight. Mary Jane immersed herself in harp technique and repertoire, emerging with a repertoire from Bach to Broadway. From weddings in meadows to University of Florida homecoming events, Mary Jane is always on top of her game.
