About Tammy
Bio
Harpist Tammy Kazmierczak (tammy@46strings.com) Although an accomplished performing harpist and teacher for more than 30 years, Tammy is most proud of her three kids and the hundreds of students she has taught one-on-one through the decades. She holds a fierce belief that everyone of any age can and should become inspired and connected to music for the rest of their lives and let their light shine for the glory of God as in Isaiah 38:20. Her boundless energy and endless drive have resulted in prolific output throughout her life, and are contagious to all she meets. She sees herself as the Harp Huntress, because if someone so much as glances at a harp, Tammy will have them taking lessons and performing in no time.
In addition to her role as the Harp Instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Tammy offers private and group harp lessons at UW-O’s Community Music Conservatory similar to the small harp program she designed and launched five years ago at no cost for youth in her local public elementary school known as the “Algoma Harp Club” - six weekly sessions for beginners who always wanted to try out a harp.

Besides teaching, Tammy is especially excited about the new field of healthcare service music offering the benefits of live therapeutic harp in the hospital setting. NSBTM Board Certified as a Harp Therapist she plays on a small, mobile therapy harp offering recipients comfort, hope, relaxation and release of emotions wherever they may be - in a chair, in bed, on a gurney, in a hospital room, in a hallway, or in a waiting area - and is excited to offer this new service and integrating this complementary therapy to the region. If not out on a gig, you can probably find Tammy in the middle of one of her many recording projects with various collaborators and producing more music books and CDs. (http://www.watercolorharps.com) Her latest recording project is called “Serenata” featuring exquisite harp and violin melodies from around the world.
A native of Chicago, Tammy trained under the great orchestral harpists, beginning study of organ and piano at the age of three. As a teen she toured abroad with the Chicago Youth Symphony, spent summers at Interlochen Arts Camp in MI, and studied harp performance, production and music business, graduating with a B.A. in Music Business from DePaul University, Chicago. She continues to stay current by attending, performing and teaching at annual harp festivals, conferences and events alongside the best harp teachers, performers and innovators in the field from around the world. Tammy's broad musical interests and experience with all genres will infuse students of every stripe, whether strictly classical or more contemporary and has a large collection of harps ranging from several styles of lap to lever to pedal harps regularly showcasing them with students and colleagues. Although harp is her forte, Tammy is classically trained on piano and often plays and teaches keyboard, guitar, uke, recorder, concertina, light percussion and other soothing instruments. Tammy offers lessons, recitals, ensemble playing and performance and recording opportunities for her students, as well as musical field trips, group lessons, workshops and masterclasses.
