Raves, Rants, Reviews

“So enjoying your CD. I love the way you write and deliver a song. What a gift. Thank you so much for being in the world to tell us these stories through song.” — Nita Whitaker LaFontaine

“Your music and songwriting have inspired me to become the person I am today.” — Alexzandra, Stockholm, Sweden

“Just wanted to say I enjoyed your CD concert immensely. Your tender, sensitive and spontaneous rendition of all your material was a remarkable example of your rare talents. A real treat for me.” — Dana White

“Lada and I wish to Congratulate you on the Awesome Lyrics for the StarKey Song! We were overcome with JOY hearing you sing the special words you chose. You’re truly Wonderful, Harriet!” — Matthew and Lada

“In Yiddish theatre, which is referenced in the play we do together, audience members were told they could get their money back if they didn’t both laugh and cry at the performance. No one would have asked for their money back after your CD release concert.” — David Proval

“The listener is allowed into deeply personal-universal places and leaves with greater understandings of him/her-self as well as you and the subjects you write about. You really love people, and that's very cool!” — Leslie Welles

“Harriet’s a brilliant comedian who introduces each of her songs with a hilarious, bracingly honest back story that gives the people in the dark a little insight on how great songs are created.” — Julie Davis

“It’s really brilliant how you came up with these [songwriting] steps. Just a great, GREAT, idea.” — Denise Rosier

“Even stronger than my desire to write songs is my gratitude to be able to work on it at this point in my life. You have kept me going and are the best teacher I ever had or will have.” — Marian Weiner

“I learned that my most powerful songs truly do come from my real life experiences and that when I share my feelings, in song, I am able to heal myself.” — Cynthia Land

Monday night workshop

Tuesday night workshop

Here’s what one of my students just said:

"I learned that songwriting gives me a sense of freedom and a healthy escape into a deeper, more free reality. The moment I'm in the headspace of songwriting, all my troubles disappear. Because it's just me, spirit, and the song. I learned to write a story clearly but in a condensed way that packs a punch and only keeps the important details in, but in a fun and challenging way. ‘Challenge’ makes it fun, too."
Gaya Mor

If that sounds like what you'd like to experience, then you’ll be glad to know that my next 10-week sessions are starting on October 25th or 26th, at 7pm Pacific Time, via Zoom.

The Harriet Schock Story

When the time came to launch the 30-day Indiegogo Crowd Funding Campaign for the production of a movie about Harriet Schock, her music and her career, a very special group of friends jumped on board, raising a full 60% of the funding goal within the first 24 hours!

It is to them that this HONOR ROLL is dedicated. Their names will appear in the CREDITS OF THE FINISHED FILM and they will be SPECIAL GUESTS AT THE FILM'S PREMIERE.

We thank as well those backers who wish to remain anonymous.

As the 30-day Indiegogo Crowd Funding Campaign for the HARRIET SCHOCK movie approached the end, it was vital to get the campaign over the finish line, meeting the Fixed Funding Goal.

To achieve this, a very special category of backer was designated. In a track relay race team, it's called the "anchor leg." It is the strongest, most trusted team member who is called upon, in the last lap, to put the effort over the top and pull off the win, whatever the odds.

And so a position of Olympian proportion was created for someone who contributed to the campaign in an amount of $25 or more by a specified date. It could be someone contributing for the first time or multiple times.

To those who answered the call, we dedicate...

The WINNERS CIRCLE of friends

With that designation your names will appear in the credits of the finished film.
