Mary, I want to thank you for teaching me the harp. You've given me something I really truly love, and I'll be forever in your debt for it. You're a wonderful teacher, and just a wonderful person. I've learned so much from you, and I'll be forever grateful. To everyone thinking of playing the harp, this is someone to learn from. She adapts to how and what you want to learn and is a wonderful person to be around. Mary, thank you so much for everything. Love, Rose

Mary, There is nothing as soothing and elegant as the sound of a harp - it so moves the soul! Your music at the wedding of my daughter & son-in-law (Christina & Vincent Granito, 9/2/05),was so lovely; it completed the ambiance that we wanted to create in their beautiful garden wedding. Thanks so much to you and Bill!

I had heard OF Mary for several years as a harpist. I had the pleasure of hearing her play last year and this year at the Living Last Supper. This year I was looking for a piano teacher for my 7 year old son and was pleasantly surprised to find that Mary teaches beginning piano! My son just loves her! Her relaxed and stress-free attitude is perfect for teaching music to a child -- all for the love and enjoyment of music! Thank you Mary! Jack can't wait for next week already. Right now he is back on the piano playing Pachelbel's Canon. I played it for him on your sound bytes, and he is in there practicing. Thanks again. Jo Smith

I just wanted to thank Mary & Bill so much for the beautiful music played at my mom & dads 25th anniversary party. I received so many compliments on what a lovely time everyone was having and how the harpist added such an elegant touch! We were all so pleased with how the event turned out & thankyou both for your part in it. We would hire Mary again in an instant if the oppurtunity arises & would recommend her to anyone interested in hosting an occasion where you were looking for something "more than just a DJ" and a little different! My parents were so surpised and so glad we chose to have a harpist play-they said it was a real treat! We agreed! Also one more thankyou for helping in making the renewal of their vows more special-it truly was beautiful!!! God Bless you both!!!

Mary: Just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful job you did at Christine and Noe's wedding on June 12, 2004. Having heard you play before, I was sure you would be the perfect accompanyment for the ceremony at Branches. And, I wasn't disappointed. Your playing provided a special grace and dignity to a wonderful ceremony conducted by Mr. Weber. Again, many thanks to you and your husband Bill for adding to the memorable day. George

Hi! I was so looking forward to see you play at the Manville Library and then we got this snowstorm. I do hope you rescheduled for a different date and hope to find out when you will play in this area again. I am a student with lovely Pat Brower and work in a PT Rehab center and with children also at school. Take care.

Mary and John played at our wedding on November 28, 2003. They did a wonderful job. The music was appropriate and the right volume. They were very accommodating regarding our requests. Mary let the kids at the wedding play on the harp a few minutes. They were great and I would definitely recommend them.

Mary, a great big "Thank You" from the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Monmouth County Board of Trustees for contributing so much spirit and elegence to our 1st Anniversary Reception last Friday evening. We heard so many wonderful comments from the volunteers who have been working with the homeless families in our network about how unique and pleasant it was to hear your harp and flute played with such feeling and enthusiasm. Thank you, again.

Mary, Thank you so much for the beautiful, elegant music you provided for our wedding ceremony. We received many compliments on your playing and have heard that the church (Asbury United Methodist) has asked you to play for them. I am sure the congregation will enjoy it as much as our guests did. You were extremely helpful and patient with us while we planned our ceremony. Thank you for everything.

Lovely music! Isn't it amazing the way God works in our lives. Who would have thought you would be blessing people with harp music when we were back in Juniata? Have you heard anything from A.J. Isenberg lately?

Hi Bill and mAry, Just meandering through my "favorites" and came across your website. Hope you're getting lots of work and that music continues to fill your lives - it seems it does. I keep your home and the feeling of you both close to me and as a special retreat where only what is good and real is important. Joy to you both!

Mary, We can't thank you and your husband Bill enough. The music was perfect for the Thornley Chapel. All our guests enjoyed the music also. Many of them had never heard a harp in person. You were truly an intricate part of our wedding, adding to the joy and beauty of the day. We wish you all the best and anyone who needs a harpist will surely be sent your way. Thank You Kim and Paul

Hi! I think I'm Mary's newest and possibly oldest student.I'm hoping some of her wonderful talent rubs off on me. In the meantime, she is a very flexible, accommodating and patient teacher. If you would like to learn to play the harp, but think you're too old, or too un-musical, put yourself in Mary's hands. I may not be headed to Carnegie Hall any time soon, but I'm having a wonderful time with my folk harp.
