03) Nancy Flindell Peters

Born and brought up in Summit, New Jersey, Nancy Peters attended both the Longy School of Music and Radcliffe College (at Harvard University) before graduating Cum Laude from Brandeis University. Her primary piano teachers were Theodore Letvin and Leonard Shure. She studied harp with Judith Ross and Mary Jane Rupert. A professional harpist and dedicated harp teacher, Ms. Peters writes music that is lovely to hear and, in the case of her works for student harpists, designed to be used as studies by harpists of all levels of ability. She is the founder and harpist of Wind Chimes, a well-known flute and harp duo which performs regularly throughout New England. Many of the pieces in the Wind Chimes repertoire were arranged for flute by Ms. Peters. Wind Chimes has recorded five compact discs which are available through Amazon.com.As a composer, Ms. Peters has written both solo and ensemble works for harp as well as chamber music for harp and other instruments. She lives in Ayer, MA and teaches both harp and piano at Indian Hill Music in Littleton, MA, as well as privately.

Music for Harp Students

Solos & Ensemble:

Each composition includes the composer’s notes on performance. The first four works address particular problems and techniques. However, they each have wonderful charm and character and are lovely concert/recital pieces for students and audiences alike. The composer's notes on technique, etc. for Mementos, Tides, and Circus Highlights are included with the published music.
