She teaches harp at Toronto University, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the Curtis Institute. Several of her recordings have received international prizes and awards, including the Juno Award and the Canada Council's Grand Prix du Disque. Judy has commissioned, performed and taped many new works for harp. As a soloist, she has performed with the world's leading orchestras in North America, Europe, Israel and Japan, as well as at the World Harp Congress and the American Harp society.
