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. |
