***Guest Alert December 3 ***
Dr. Kaffee Peck is a harpist, composer, educator, and music publisher whose musical journey
spans continents and cultures. Born and raised in Malaysia, she began her training on piano
and classical guitar. Although she enjoyed both instruments, she ultimately chose to dedicate
herself to the harp — a decision that shaped her artistic path and future career.
After moving to the United States, Dr. Peck pursued advanced musical studies and earned her
Doctor of Musical Arts in Harp Performance from the University of Southern California. During
her studies, she worked closely with some of the leading harp pedagogues in the field, refining
both her technique and artistic voice.
Based in Southern California, Dr. Peck now teaches 40–50 students of all ages. Her teaching
philosophy is deeply individualized — she believes that each student learns differently, with
unique strengths, personalities, and goals. Instead of using a single method for everyone, sheadapts her approach to meet the needs of each individual, whether they are young beginnerswith busy school schedules or adults returning to music later in life. She also maintains a rental
program of lever and pedal harps to make learning more accessible.
As a composer and arranger, Dr. Peck has published eight harp books, including RomanceWithout Words: 20 Masterworks for Lever Harp, Baby Doves: Harp Lessons for Beginners,Christmas Solos for Harp, and her newest release, Passport for Harpists: Traditional andOriginal Solos from Around the World, published in October 2025.
She is also a co-founder of the Global Musical Arts Competition (GMAC), created together with
several musicians to provide international performance opportunities for young artists. Her work
continues to build bridges across cultures and make harp education accessible to a wider
community.
