Reuben Correa's
Reuben Correa – His Story:
Harpist, composer, recording artist and private harp instructor.
Reuben began his musical journey on the piano at the tender age of 8 in Spokane, WA. He took to it like a fish to water using the sustain pedal to wrap himself in the beauty of blended sound. It was way to deal with the constant moving his family endured due to the company his dad worked for. After 9 different schools by the time he was in 5th grade his family finally settled in Southern CA. Whew, finally a place to land.
Reuben continued his musical education by joining the award-winning high school marching band under the direction of Ronald Large. At 5’3 and only 98lbs he could not carry his beloved piano, so they gave him the next heaviest instrument…a tuba.
After high school he was off traveling again. This time in the US Air Force, where he encountered new musical influences in the Far East, and Europe as well as the Southern USA. After an 11-year stint and an Honorable Discharge in hand he knew music was his passion. Reuben was accepted into Bethel University’s music department as a tuba major and there he met the harp.
The music department was looking for students for the newly donated Lyon & Healy $25,000.00 hand carved, gold embellished concert grand harp. And Reuben L. Correa was its first student. He had found his musical passions met in an essentially beautiful vertical piano with sustain built in. His first mentor was Anne Ransom, Secondary harpist for the Minnesota Orchestra.
She inspired, encouraged, challenged and patiently guided him all through out his musical career. It is Anne’s passion and professionalism for the harp and expert musicality that Reuben thanks daily in his journey to perform, compose, and teach his students as well.
Mr Correa credits his second mentor, Francis Miller of the University of Minnesota, with teaching him to teach. She exclaimed one day. “You do not need to be taught; you need to teach”

The calming music provided an uplifting healing ambience to the frustration and loss he experienced as a result. He's now recovered his abilities to near 100%.
