Eleanor studied first with Mair Jones
and then went on to Chethams School of Music to study with Jean Bell from
the Halle Orchestra with whom she continued at the Royal Northern College
of Music. During her time there she gained a degree in music and was awarded
the Guinness Scholarship for the Harp. It was there that she became interested
in contemporary and chamber music for the harp and started to arrange for
the instrument herself. Eleanor then went on to gain an ARCM in London,
and has since acted as Principal Harpist with most orchestras in Britain
including all the BBC Orchestras, The Halle Orchestra ad the Scottish Chamber
Orchestra.
