Ginger Harmon Music Flutist from Gaffney, SC

Raised in Gaffney, South Carolina, Ginger Harmon is the daughter of Rita Clary Harmon- an accomplished pianist and organist- and the late Jeff Harmon- known for playing “Taps” at area funerals and veterans events. After exhibiting musical potential at an early age, Ginger began formal piano lessons at the age of four. Ginger continued with piano training over the years, including through Limestone College, Hames Music, at private homes and at Clemson University. Ginger began playing flute at the age of twelve, when she signed up for band at school. Almost immediately, churches began hiring Ginger to play for their services. From age twelve through eighteen, Ginger’s only training on flute was through high school band. From 1993-1998 Ginger attended Clemson University. While at Clemson, Ginger began her true formal flute training under the tutelage of Dr. Rhea Jacobus. Also at Clemson, Ginger was an active participant in Tiger Band, Symphonic Band and Flute Choir, as well as private lessons in both flute and piano. She also spent a summer abroad in Italy studying music and was a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, a co-ed music fraternity. Since graduating in 1998, Ginger has appeared at numerous area churches for regular services, weddings, and other special music. She has traveled to churches in Asheville, NC, and Charlotte, NC, to perform as part of their special services. Ginger has also been heard in the pit orchestra at Limestone University for such productions as “Annie” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Additionally, Ginger performed at Premium Outlets in Gaffney, South Carolina, as part of their Coca-Cola Summer Concert Series, and for the Cherokee County, SC, History Museum as part of their Ghost Walk. Ginger continues to perform as a flutist wherever she is needed. In addition to performing, Ginger enjoys giving private music lessons on both flute and piano.
