"Since I met Dr. Wiest when I was nine, I have been enamored with the harp.  Now as a senior in HS, I still anticipate my lessons.  She inspires excellence!  Not only has Dr. Shelley taught me theory, memorizing skills, performance presentation, and new harp techniques, but also she has guided me in sharing my music with others--orchestral playing, school exhibitions, therapeutic environments, church events, and social engagements.  I cannot imagine a more incredible teacher...!"  Sara E., Phoenix, AZ (HS Senior, 2010)
