Hi Deb,
I am not playing in healthcare settings yet, but I am enrolled in IHTP and about to finish Module 1. It’s been really wonderful so far. If you are looking to be certified down the road, I highly recommend reading Christina Tourin’s harp manual “Cradle of Sound.” It’s HUGE (almost 600 oversized pages loaded with text) and incredibly interesting and informative. Also, the Creatve Harping DVD series is an excellent way to learn about the various modes. If you do all this now, you will be way ahead of the game whenever you decide to enroll to be certified.
