Program summary

Enrich your harp learning over the summer with SFCM’s Harp Immersive for students aged 12-19. During this five-day program, each harpist gets to perform solo, in a master class, and with the harp ensemble. Harpists receive daily instruction in topics such as harp ensemble, eurhythmics, harp history, arranging your favorite harp piece, improvisation, and more. We have both lever and pedal harps available for out-of-town students. Students can attend as a day camp or stay overnight in the dorms.
