I (Angi Bemiss) became a Certified Music Practitioner (CMP) in January 1998. Since then, as a therapeutic musician, I have provided thousands of hours of live therapeutic music to create a healing environment.

​

I play the harp at the bedside and in the medical departments of hospitals, plus in hospice, memory-care, and home settings. In addition, I regularly play for weddings, church services, and community events. Over the years, I have been  a workshop presenter at harp conferences across the country. In April 2020, I completed the IHTP course of study and am also now a Certified Therapeutic Harp Practitioner (CTHP).

​

I have been a musician for most of my life. I studied the piano beginning at the age of 6 and was a church pianist for many years. (My first piano teacher was my mother.) During my school years I also played other instruments, including the flute, oboe, and guitar. Kevin and I met in high school band in Satellite Beach, FL. In 1989, Kevin surprised me with a harp (and lessons) for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was at this point that my life as a musician took a meaningful turn.

​

With the harp, I realized that I would have the opportunity to quietly serve others with the peaceful and unique sound that comes from its strings. Almost from the beginning, it was my desire to play the harp in hospitals.

Kevin and I have lived in Atlanta since 1992, and Kevin is a retired nurse. He worked at Northside Hospital for many years, and I have played there for over 25 years!

In 2019, I retired as a partner and CFO of a management consulting firm. (I have a BS in Business Education and an MBA.)
