WAFHS is pleased to announce that the guest teachers for this year's WAFHS Harper's Ferry Getaway are Sue Hoadley and Cheyenne Brown.

Sue Hoadley
A Certified Music Practitioner, Sue is best known for her flowing, evocative music in a unique blending of Celtic harp and Native American flute. The haunting, velvet tones of the flute weave into the ethereal strings of the harp and create spaciousness in the listener, a place of peace and renewal amid the chaos of life. Sue is also known for her therapeutic music programs in hospitals, hospices, and homes. Through the restorative vibrations of sound, Sue's teaching and playing is a gift of healing and celebration.

Cheyenne Brown
Cheyenne is from Bird Creek Alaska, travelled to Scotland on a full Associated Board scholarship in 2002 to study traditional music at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. She was first inspired to play Scottish music at festivals in the US, where she has since returned as a tutor. She released an album with the harp duo, Wild Thyme, in 2001 and has performed in Thomas Zoellers Homebound concerts and toured Scandinavia with HARPA, a group of leading North American folk harpers. Her playing style is characteristically free and creative, making much use of improvisation and contrasting textures. She is currently based in Craigmaddie, just outside Milngavie, where she works as a freelance musician.
