Healing Music - Played Live For You

I bring the music to you!

ABOUT THERAPEUTIC MUSIC

Music has the amazing ability to heal us across great distances and time. Especially in times of difficulty and stress, music can be the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and our loved ones. In one 30-minute therapeutic session, listeners can experience deep relaxation and a release of tension, as they are carried away on the sounds and rhythms that have been carefully chosen for them.

Receiving the gift of hearing music played live specifically for you is an experience you will not ever forget!

BOOK A SESSION

Therapeutic sessions are booked in 30 minute sessions. Each session includes 20 minutes of playing time and 10 minutes for setup, introductions, questions, and wind-down.

Price is $70 per session plus travel (virtual sessions have no travel fees).

Contact Cathy at 504-782-6531 to schedule a session!

SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE

I love hearing your stories about how therapeutic music helped you or your family through a difficult time! Healing music is still a relatively new therapy, and many people are not aware of how powerful and easy it is to get started. If you share your story, you can help others experience the magic of Healing Harp!

CONTACT CATHY ANDERSON

If you have an opportunity to study harp with Catherine, jump at the chance and count yourself fortunate! I have taken lessons with Catherine for over 10 years and she has guided me from a relative newcomer to the harp all the way into my professional career (playing for symphonies, opera, ballet, concerts, etc..). Catherine shares her vast knowledge and beautiful musical artistry in the most patient, kind and nurturing way I can imagine. It's a joy and an inspiration to study with Catherine and I always eagerly look forward to any time spent working with her! - Posted Apr 26, 2020

I have known Mrs Cathy for over 8 years. She has always been very understanding and you can see how much she loves the harp. Our lessons are productive and challenging, but Mrs Cathy still makes it fun! I look forward to our lessons and feel like I’m learning a lot. - Posted Apr 21, 2020

Cathy is a gifted musician and an excellent teacher. For me, an adult student with a limited background in music, taking lessons with Cathy (both online and in person) has been the perfect fit. She is patient, makes lessons fun and interesting, understands my musical interests, and helps me find music that I enjoy playing. She has taught me not only technique but also some music theory, which has been very helpful. I am so pleased with my progress. Also, when I first started lessons, I had so many questions about caring for my harp. Cathy taught me how to tune my harp properly, transport it, and even change strings. She also taught me how to position myself properly when playing. Cathy is a wonderful resource for all things related to harps. I highly recommend her as a teacher. - Posted Apr 14, 2020

Talented teacher who inspired me to play my harp again. She helped me develop my skills and supported me while working on my clinical musician certification. Very grateful for her guidance. - Posted Apr 12, 2020

Professor Andersen is patient and very helpful. She teaches more than just technique - she helps you learn how to practice, how to maintain your harp, etc. - Posted Apr 11, 2020

Cathy has really helped my harp skills improve. The lessons are structured well with a focus on what the student wants to work on as well as as Cathy’s input. She offers a lot of opportunities for performing with frequent recitals. - Posted Apr 11, 2020

Ms. Cathy is a phenomenal harpist and the most caring, knowledgeable, informative, and understanding harp instructor out there. She taught me for 13 years and I haven’t had a teacher as amazing as her since (moved cities) ! She has a plethora of different harps in her at-home studio to play during lessons, and she is really invested in helping each student find the right harp for them! Ms. Cathy spends a lot of time setting up fun performance experiences for her students, from studio recitals to volunteer performances around New Orleans. She’s also really well connected around the city and can help you get setup with gigs. During lessons she devotes time to teaching music theory, as well, and has worksheets and drills for students to work on to build their understanding of music. Simply, she is an amazing instructor and her students adore her like she is an additional mother! - Posted Apr 11, 2020
