My Name is Brittany Hart DeYoung and I love playing the harp. I currently teach at the Flint Institute of Music in Flint Michigan and freelance with several orchestras in the area. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona under the direction of Dr. Carrol McLaughlin and my Master's from the University of Michigan with Mrs. Joan Holland. I thoroughly enjoy practicing and would do it much, much more if I didn't have a day job that took up all my time. (Working on that goal) I also love teaching and being able to be a part of helping someone make their life better through music. Nothing does better at making my day than when a student turns to me and says "thanks, that was a fun lesson!"
I have a wonderful husband and "Harp Mover" who is always willing to help me move my harp up and down the stairs of our current 2nd floor condo. Someday he plans on buying me a house with ramps instead of stairs.
I love being crafty and decorating on a budget. Being a musician takes up a lot of time and doesn't pay very well, but I have learned that leftover cardboard and packing tape can do a lot to make a house a home. (Well, technically you have to add other things as well, but cardboard seems to be a running theme in my home)
I hope you enjoy reading my new blog!
