Patricia Rushton: Home

Welcome! I’m a musician from Santa Barbara, California, and I play the Celtic harp. I love finding and arranging old tunes for the lever harp. Mostly, I perform locally, solo and with other musicians.

On the pages of this website you’ll find everything from sound bytes from my CD, “Open the Door Softly,” to suggestions for exercises to save us from being sedentary musicians.

There will be occasional sheet music to download for those who are inspired by a new tune (or very old, as is often the case). The truth is, I don’t know if the copyright laws allow me to offer my arrangements in that way . . . so I’ll be looking into that.

One of my harp students is a stroke survivor and you’ll find her link here as well as links to instrument makers, other music websites, and helpful reference sites.
