Education
Reuben began his study of the concert (pedal) harp at Bethel College . During his junior year however, he was introduced to the folk (Celtic) harp and decided to build his own. It is finished to resemble a harp from the about Renaissance period.

Reuben Correa performs on a harp built to his specifications by Steen Harps of W. Virginia. The harp builder Stephen Green combined Celtic and Gothic styles to create a new 36 string (5 octave) design in bird's eye maple with a spruce sounding board. The new harp has joined an elegant shape with a exquisitely beautiful bright and delicate voice which not only carries quite well in large spaces and out of doors but fully fills the space.

Reuben plays a variety of music ranging from renaissance, light classics, traditional hymns to contemporary sacred music., ethnic themes, very light jazz and folk tunes in an inspirational uplifting healing style. His intent is to bring the music of this ancient instrument into the 20th century where a wider range of listeners can relate to the music without obscuring its ancient origins. Reubenâs heart lies in using his music for healing purposes.
Rock of Ages is a recording that is an extention of this philosophy. It is at once an improvisational offering that provides an approximately 45 minute continuous solo folk harp commentary of beautiful music using diverse techniques and encompassing the full range of the harp.
It has been attributed to the relief of many physical ailments specifically one lady contacted Reuben to tell him that his music helped relieve her rapid leg syndrome condition. So much so that she had to request an emergency copy since she had lost hers in a move.
