Musical training and harp education for Mary have included years studying with with Betsy Dahl in Burlington VT, Nyle Hallman (formerly with the Don Ho Show) in Honolulu, HI, National Music Camp in Interlochen, MI, Danis Kelly (principle harpist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra) in Milwaukee, WI, and Alice Chalifoux of the Camden, Maine Summer Harp Colony. Mary lived for over fifteen years in Romania, Austria and Japan. During her time abroad, she continued her playing, doing most of her work in Romania where she contributed to recordings on four CDs, did live radio work and played for various public functions including one for the U.S. Ambassador to Romania.
