"This was a fantastic concert – I was particularly impressed with the amount of pupil participation. They were fully involved at all times!" Abbey School, Rotherham
 
Eleanor takes her harp into special needs schools, residential nursing homes and day centres to allow people to experience live music when they can't go to concerts. With plenty opportunities for playing the harp, joining in with percussion instruments and singing Eleanor inspires creativity, team work and an appreciation of many cultures through music.
 
Eleanor was selected for the Live Music Now! scheme in 2000, with violinist Roger Owen. In their duo and as a soloist Eleanor gives around twenty-five concerts each year in community venues. LMN is in partnership with the Victor Salvi Foundation, which has given Eleanor a colourful Salvi lever harp to use in her LMN performances.
 
The harp can be played by wheelchair bound children and adults, elderly people, the visually impaired and those with profound deafness. The vibrations of the strings and wood are exhilarating, and people are surprised to find they can play a simple tune quite easily!
