BEDSIDE HARP was founded by Edie Elkan, music teacher for over 40 years and involved in using the harp as a therapeutic instrument since 1994. Understanding the extraordinary healing qualities of the instrument first-hand, she has, since 1999, dedicated herself to bringing harp therapy to healthcare and wellness settings.
From biblical times it was known that the sounds of the harp offer unique comfort to the sick and ailing. Only in the last few years have scholars begun to document the amazing results. In fact, it appears that the very vibrations of the harp affect the listener in fairly profound ways-from lowering blood pressure to offering gentle comfort, to evening out breathing, to lessening the need of pain medications, to calming anxiety.
Harpists who wish to pursue a career in healthcare are invited to begin their professional training with Bedside Harp. Our Certified Harp Therapist (CHT) and the Certified Master of Harp Therapy (CMHT) offerings are 100% online mindfulness-based programs designed to train adult harpists and harpers to work as healthcare professionals in a variety of medical and wellness settings.

Their website states that everyone who is involved must have a vaccine, no matter where you live and the laws of your state. This includes remote learning. Please reconsider your stance to include people who have taken other measures to protect themselves from COVID and other illness. Science has demonstrated that the vaccine does not prevent catching covid, nor spreading it.
Your policy just alienates people. EDIT : Vaccines grant immunity. The COVID shot has been proven to not grant immunity. If it did grant immunity, people with the shot would not be catching covid, nor spreading it. Your policy is total trash. Exactly what are you doing with preventing people from receiving training?
