I'm Hillary the harpist, and this page is my dreamwork arena where I showcase the range and adaptability of one of the world's oldest instruments, bringing it to new audiences and hopefully inspiring a new wave of musicians. Classically trained, one day I got fed up with not being able to "play freebird" as so many drunk wedding attendees have yelled at me over the years, that I decided to start adapting my favorite pop, rock, and otherwise interesting music for the harp.

You can be a part of the journey as well! Hit me up in the comments if there's some particularly epic song you think could benefit from a sonic transformation. I transcribe all of the music myself, so what you hear and see here has literally never been done before. Enjoy!
