„An outstanding performer and teacher“
He plays Celtic as freely as he plays Jazz and his mastery of classics
as well as classic rock and pop rivals that of many who play this
instrument.
Mr. Ricketts has composed many pieces of original music. He is not only
a harpist but he plays piano and guitar and he is a great singer as
well. Many of the harpists you have to choose from in North Texas also
studied with Maestro Ricketts.
He was trained in music theory, arranging, composition, and harp
performance at The University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. He
studied with notable teachers such as Ellen Ritscher, Dan Hurley, and
Rose Mary Killum.
Geoffrey developed The Geoffrey Harp Method and wrote a beginner book
“The Geoffrey Harp School”, which is even used out of the U.S.A by many
students
in Germany.
Another field he is
researching
here is music therapy services and harp music meditation.
