Jennifer Pratt-Walter communicates her reverence for her instrument and music with her hands, searching to define and transcend human experience. Her musical background includes instrumental, choir, and madrigal performance.  Her true love since 1995 has been the Celtic harp. She studied classical harp before forging out on her own with the folk harp, and has been building a repertoire of Celtic, Early, contemporary, original, and light classic pieces.  Jennifer has garnered praise and prizes for harping and composing, winning the Advanced/Professional title at the Pacific NW Scottish harp competition twice. She also won the Sacred Oak Grove Eisteddfod in 2000 for original music. Jennifer most recently captured the new regional Pacific NW Scottish harp championship in 2003, and has been an adjudicator.

Jennifer is a Certified Healing Musician and Thanatologist, providing therapeutic music for the dying and those anxious or in pain.  She finds this particular ministry very rewarding.  Her recording “Ancient Slumbers” reflects this type of music.  Jennifer teaches and performs on the harp, and collaborates with Valerie Blessley in the duo Celtic Muse for three recordings, plus released solo albums “Ancient Realms” and “Ancient Muse,” which are available from CD Baby.
