1. In-Studio Transformational Residencies: Live inside the Creative Hub
This program is for harpists seeking major transformation in their playing, career and connection to their instrument—whether transitioning to a new instrument like the CAMAC “DHC,” a new style like jazz, or a new career path.
Your private room is adjacent to the studio with access to DHC’s harps, effects pedals and tech. You’ll get a personalized training plan, assessments and creative direction.
The In-Studio Transformational Residencies are the most intensive and effective way to get direct hands-on coaching for quick breakthroughs toward creative or career goals.
This is the power of a LIVED EXPERIENCE. Living on-site, you experience how a successful working-artist manages their life and transforms their home into a live-work space for high-level creative output. Access to DHC’s equipment and space informs your own choices, while taking part in video projects, performances or podcasts expands your career experience.
- Here's how residencies work:
• YOU LIVE INSIDE of the DHC Creative Hub:
You are in the epicenter of DHC’s live/work space, next to an urban park area with a freshwater pond, walking paths and the historic Minuteman bike trail. You’re a short bus-ride to Harvard Square and the Red Line Subway that connects you to everything in Boston. You have a private room where you can practice 24/7, and access to the studio’s kitchen and bathroom so you are ON RETREAT during your residences. You have an access schedule for the studio, the harps, the tech and video equipment and you have access to one of DHC’s personal “DHC” harps during the residency, if you don’t have your own.
• YOU WORK with a PLAN:
Each residency begins with a half-day intensive to jump-start your work and develop your study plan. Residencies of 1 month or longer also include a 2nd half-day intensive.
• YOUR COACHING SESSIONS are OPTIMIZED:
When you’re in an intensive growth period as an artist, waiting for weekly lessons means constantly working around problems until your coach helps you solve them. In a residency you don’t have to wait.
We optimize your 1-on-1 coaching time to empower your practice and rehearsal time. That means we may meet 10 or 12 times a week, in sessions of varying lengths, depending on my schedule and how often you get stuck, or are ready for ‘next steps’. We keep track to make sure you get a total of at least 3 focused hours of personalized coaching each week between pre-scheduled sessions and shorter spotlight sessions.

Break through with a full day of laser-focused One-on-One coaching to catapult you to new creative heights.
Who are VIP Days for?
You want to break through creative barriers. You need an expert eye that truly sees your unique possibilities and can show you how to realize them, a guide to give you the skills, the tools and the practices to make the leap.
You walk away with a plan, the skills to fulfill it and an outline of the practices to support it. You get a video file of the entire session so you can review it. You walk away with powerful vision of who you can be, without limit.
For those who want ongoing hands-on support to implement that plan, you’ll have the option to apply in person for “Harness Your Muse” or the “Transformational Residence” program at the end of the day.
You are the Focus of the Day
In a VIP day we’re together for 8 hours – just you and me – in my studio. We will shape your vision, empower your techniques and build the bones of a creative project that is totally unique to YOU. It will be complete, scripted and ready to rehearse. It will not be perfect. It will never be perfect. It will be powerful, beautiful, authentic and expressive. And it will express you.
Your VIP Day includes:
- A 50-minute virtual Clarity Session a week before we meet
- A full 8-Hour Day of Coaching & Training
- For Project-Development sessions, work on repertoire, skills, tech and rehearsal process. By day’s end you have a performable presentation, a rehearsal plan, and a video ‘teaser’ of the project to share with others – as well as an outline of your next-steps.
- For Skills-Development sessions, you’ll walk away with a personalize training plan and a video outline of your skill-set training
- For Equipment-Familiarization Sessions, you’ll have guided experimentation with all the equipment in my studio
- A delicious, healthy working lunch together where we’ll continue discussion of your creative goals
- 2-Nights Lodging in the private student-room adjacent to the studio
- Video files of all sessions
- A 50-minute virtual Solidification Session a week after we meet
- My complete focus on you and your project throughout this VIP day.
The Break-Through process starts when you register and continues for the rest of your life.
