"HARP SERVICES of GRACE JORDAN " provide unique and diverse, live harp
(lyre / Davidic kinnor) and flute indoor and outdoor performances. Grace is a psalmist who often sings her psalms while playing the lyre by inspiration; however, she must play the flute (and sax) by reading music.
Currently, she is also studying violin and will be updating this site's name to "Harp, Flute, & Violin by Grace Jordan," or something similar once she has mastered some violin music to add to her repertoire. Later on, she might also offer some Spanish Classical guitar music, Early Period pieces, and Latin love songs on baritone ukulele which is guitar-like in tone and fingering, unlike other types of ukes.
She offers uniquely designed programs on Harp & Flute for regular bookings, special events, holiday & High Holy Days Musical Events. Ask her about her special Sacred Christian & Jewish Music Repertoire and Interactive Educational / Cultural Programs, plus her Period Musical Favorites on flute from the 1930's, 40's 50's, 60's... Swing Era, Love Songs, Romantic Latin Songs, Sacred Hymns, Anthems, which Seniors love...
Kindly also consider booking her at your local sanctuary for religious purposes, Biblical plays or performances reminiscent of the Holy Land in costumes which she has designed and sewn herself. It would be a special treat to have her perform at a Purim Celebration dressed as Esther, replete in a bejeweled veil and caftan playing her Davidic kinnor... In the future, she will also be playing other exotic instruments from the Holy Land. The same attire would be fitting for Christmas or Resurrection Day (Easter) Pageants too. Unless otherwise requested, for typical performances she dresses in semi-formal attire, even for regular day bookings to give audiences a special festive air. Harps seem to require a touch of elegance!
Lyre music has been used for millennia for inner restoration, deliverance and healing,
in addition to entertainment. Therefore, she can be booked for human and pet needs... She looks forward to selling lyre, flute, violin, and baritone uke music CD
recordings in the future on this site and possibly at your favorite store.
She hopes you will enjoy them, in addition to listening to her singing her psalms.
"HARP SERVICES of GRACE JORDAN " is focused on providing high-quality
live harp (lyre) / flute performances and client satisfaction. As a result, a high
percentage of her business is from repeat customers and referrals for
secular and sacred events, and private performances. "Harp Services of Grace Jordan" will do everything it can to meet your expectations.
* Furthermore, last minute arrangements are also considered for both indoor /outdoor
functions in case previously scheduled performers were to cancel without notice. She would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver to you the best service in the industry.
* Please scroll down for a LIST of sacred and secular functions through which
she enjoys performing.
Fees: The basic fee is typically $100 per hour for services, or by a pre-arranged flat fee for an event per discussion, plus a small fee for gas /transportation / load up - tear down time, which is usually $5 for places locally under 10 miles, and up to $20 if farther away. (Example: She would need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the performance to set up near an electrical outlet of which the smaller fee covers that, verses her charging the full $100 from that time onward till the actual performance and tear down are completed, which is a special blessing to clients.) She recommends prospective clients discuss hiring fee arrangements with her and any concerns about costs and their own financial limitations.
Please feel free to contact Grace if you have any questions and to listen to
some music samples she can play for you.

* "HIDE IT HATS" and "HARP SERVICES OF GRACE JORDAN": Do you know Grace Jordan is also developing a new line of simple but unique women's fashions for both daily and religious purposes ? Her turbans and head wraps with optional matching scarves, tunics and caftans are ideal for RELIGIOUS DANCE AND WORSHIP SERVICES, with or without her own artistic work and symbols on them for an ancient Biblical impression. (* She will be wearing such clothing and /or costumes at times when performing at such religious services with her Davidic Harp and flute. ) Her hats and headgear are made of all-climate fabrics, lined or unlined, which are also perfect for cancer patients, as well as for women running around doing errands on our random "bad hair days," who just want an inexpensive head kerchief to "Hide It!" Additionally, many women and girls prefer to wear them for modesty, as they do in many countries who are from diverse religions and cultures. (Even nuns can benefit from her solid-colored kerchiefs as part of their habits or when dressing casually.)
Each order of hats will be hand tailored, so clients have a say in the fabrics, colors, designs and trims for their own needs, and climates. They are not very fancy, but are inexpensive. However, many of her hats have unique features such as a sealable hidden pocket for women's safety, so they may not need to carry a purse if they wish to hide lightweight items, i.e., a key, credit card or driver's license in the lined hats! Women will not have to worry about them coming untied and slipping off, either, because they are secured with Velcro. Her lines include other features such as mix and match removable attachments to save the clients money when ordering more than one hat, which allows their hats to look like different styles. Each order will be discussed in advance. (Email:
HideItHats@aol.com)
For now, please click "OTHER SERVICES": Fashions by Grace Jordan - "The Jordan Collection," for updates and web site information at HideItHats.com. There, and maybe on this site too, eventually, some images of hats will be seen.
Payment by Cash / Check / Money Order. Donations warmly accepted. (Make checks out to Grace Jordan.)
Thank you.
