This program offers the chance to learn from three world-class harpists. Class sizes are small and allow for personal connection with the harp faculty. In addition to private lessons, teaching methodology for harp, harp literature, and harp orchestral repertoire, a weekly harp performance class is also offered. The school generally admits a small number of harpists each year, however they do offer generous scholarships.
