A warm and inspiring conversation with harp learner Katherine, whose journey has been filled with perseverance, rediscovery, and the joy of finally returning to the harp after decades away. She shares how she found her way back to music, what the harp means to her, and the breakthroughs that have shaped her recent playing.

Many listeners will also recognise her as the Customer Relations Manager at How To Harp, a role she grew into after joining the membership as a learner and connecting deeply with the community.
