Overview
Crane provides a balance of performance and pedagogy. Whether you aspire to be an orchestral harpist, soloist, educator, researcher or all of these, learning how to teach will deepen your own musicianship. Collegiate harpists work with young students of varying ages in the National String Project in order to study and practice(!) pedagogy. Crane supports double majors, both within and outside of music, and encourages undergraduate research through the Honors and Presidential Scholars programs.
