Folk Harp

Beverly Colgan is a dream come true and we’ve got the story you should hear.  Next time you come in, ask….you won’t believe it.

We ‘re definitely blessed to have Beverly here at MMP and couldn’t have asked the heavens for a more wonderful Harpist, EVER!   She’s wonderfully skilled, devinly patient and quite the character.  That’s why she gets the coolest picture background than anyone! Harp Lessons

Former Principal Harpist of the Reno Philharmonic, Nevada Opera, Reno Chamber Orchestra and the AVA Ballet Orchestra (!!!) her music has accompanied many artists in many different settings over the years, and of course no need to mention hundreds of weddings.  Yes, her music is beyond lovely, even when she’s just warming up!

With degrees in Harp Performance from Indiana University and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music AND a Masters degree from UNR Beverly is top shelf with a beautiful career that has touched and inspired so many.   She loves teaching both young and old on all size harps from the smallest lap harp to the gorgeous Orchestral pedal harps.  She’s marvelous at her craft. With her musician husband, the late Joe Venuto, they recorded two albums with Harp & Vibes: Valley of the Bells and Harp & Vibes Holiday. If you’ve been dreaming of playing the harp, don’t wait. Beverly teaches private lessons and occasionally offers group workshops that you certainly won’t want to miss.
