Josh has recorded 4 albums of solo harp music, including his 2013 CD "Passage: music for solo harp" which features three of his original compositions for harp.

"It's Tuesday... It's Harp Tuesday!" Born out of a passion for teaching, Josh's biweekly YouTube series "Harp Tuesday" launched in 2010. Harp Tuesday covers all aspects of playing the harp-from your first lesson to in-depth looks at advanced music. With 300+ episodes and over 3 million views, Harp Tuesday is an amazing resource for harpists all over the world.
