Linda
Barton Paul
is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
She attended Will Rogers High School and went on to Oklahoma University
in Norman, OK to study the harp. She also studied at the University of
Tulsa, the University of Kansas and Denver University.
Besides
teaching harp, Linda has performed both in concert and as a symphonic
harpist. She toured with the New Christy Minstrels, making two U.S.
tours and one Caribbean tour. She has performed in pit ensembles for
opera, ballet and Broadway. Linda
began honing her unique style by adding jazz and Latin rhythms to her
repertoire in 1983. She's performed with several jazz ensembles over the
years, plus she has performed jazz charts with symphonic orchestra. She
began adding South American harp pieces to her repertoire, even
purchasing a Paraguayan harp so she could perform the intricate
fingerings of these Latin styles. Later she applied much of this new
technique to the double pedal harp to produce a more rhythmic and
percussive quality.
