Welcome, Emma

Nice to know there are at least two female harpers on the list.
Carolyn Mayr is the only other that I know of. No sexist bias intended,
just refreshing to know you are out there lending needed balance to the
predominately male world of harmonica playing. Your genre?

I am trying to interest my nine-year-old daughter in playing harp. I
have her doing a few little blues rhythm parts (call and response) and a
few simple songs. I hope to grow old with her as my brilliant and
eclipsing accompanist.

By the way, I had posted, a few months ago, a query about famous
female players. Got a few responses, but would like to know of more
examples if anyone has any. I know of Memphis Minnie and Big Mama
Thornton. Any in Jazz? Classical? Contemporary Blues?
