She is currently completing a Master of Music from Georgia State University's School of Music under the instruction of Elisabeth Remy, Principal Harpist of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Though Riza’s main focus has been in Harp Performance, her ability and desire to direct has allowed her to coach and work with numerous ensembles of various sizes and ages.  She recently led ensembles in performing Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro and Debussy’s Trio Sonate. She has always found much reward in helping ensembles achieve complete unity and intuitive musicianship.
