Harriet is also influenced by natural landscapes and the deep ocean. Harriet studied composition at the Royal College of Music in London as a RCM Award Holder supported by a Douglas and Hilda Simmonds scholarship, as a Clifton Parker Award Holder, and also received a Vaughan Williams Bursary from the RVW Trust.
