I first heard your music on Rythmbox and fell madly in love with your harp. Wonderful music on what was a very trying day for me. Thank you for making my day bright. – John (Jul 13, 2009)
I just got an iPod and am so in love with this CD!!! I can hear the subtleties through the headset so much more clearly now. My favorites are the Love Set and the Holy Trinity—divine and almost ecstatic! I have listened almost non-stop for 2 days. Thank you, thank you.
I’m loving your CD…very deep and magical…haunting with the Celtic-Mediterranean connection…seamlessly beautiful…
Your CD has been playing literally for days here at home …Lovely and loving and lively and sumptuous and healing/soothing ….Best wishes always … – Corey Mason
It’s like throwing open all the windows of your house (on a nice day). Totally lovely. – about The Bright Knowlewdge – Jim Krusoe
Your concert last night was transporting — the music was lyrical and powerful at the same time, a lovely combination of romance and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much. – Thekla Hammond
Thank you for bringing more enchantment into my world! – Wendy Gillissen
I so enjoyed your CD. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. The Indian touches were appreciated and you really made the harp sound like a sitar & tambura, capturing the flavor of Indian music. Congratulations – Karen Gottlieb
I hear things in your playing and in your harp that I just don’t hear anywhere else. – Ray Kolling
Thank for this positive and transformative musical experience. The purity and beauty of your music took me on a journey towards self-realization that I need to live my life now, embracing all that is good and right for my life. – Liz Faletti
I have been working with business and professional coaches for almost 20 years. Each one has brought various strengths, but only Diana Rowan had the whole package. I needed business coach who was also a musician and a harpist. I needed a harp coach who understood the mechanics of having a thriving harp-based business.
In just a few short months, Diana helped me get organized, set realistic goals and put structure in place to keep me on track.
At the same time, she opened doors that I had kept closed, gently pushing me to embrace a bigger vision of my music and myself.
Having the Harp Ecosystem – a group of like-minded women – has been enormously helpful and very different. Most coaches I have worked with provide only one-on-one coaching. But Diana’s “sangha” approach – building group support is new and completely refreshing. I no longer feel I am working alone in a silo.
Diana’s knowledge of technique is unique among harp teachers. She was able to immediately identify posture problems that I had struggled with for years. She was able to correct some of my technical problems, and get me playing more fluidly and with more ease.
I also enjoy our composition conversations where I can ask questions about phrasing, spelling, jazz chords and world music, and always get an engaging and interesting answer.
Having Diana on my side has given me the support I have needed to try new things, and it’s giving me the freedom to grow as a musician much more quickly than if I were working alone.
