About Me
My background
Blessings! My name is Karla Williams and I am an Electric Harpist who plays Gospel, Jazz , R&B and many other genres. I have learned valuable skills and ways of interpreting the harp from a variety of fantastic people. I also enjoy learning non-traditional instruments and healing insruments to calm the mind and body. Previous and current mentors Latin Jazz harpist Patrice Fisher of the Band Arpa. of whom I would have not been where I am now due to her patience, guidance and just unspeakable level of mentoring and coaching. Other essential mentors included Kristina Finch, Debroah Henson Conant and Mary Fitzgerald . I also took singing lessons for many years with the late singer Sylma Gottlieb, friend of Leontyne Price.
Ms. Williams is currently enrolled in the Berkley School of Music program to further her harp studies. She has a BA in Foreign Languages an Masters degree in International Affairs from Georgetown University,
What is next? Harp Therapy Classes begin for me in January as I have enrolled in the Bedside Harp program! I am also learning now to play the tongue drum, crystal bowls and tuning forks to help heal others.
