Program summary

The harp program at Mead Witter School of Music is situated in the larger UW-Madison campus where students are free to pursue harp performance alone or alongside other academic majors. We focus on technique, breath, and the connection between body and the music we play. Repertoire is chosen collaboratively so that the music learned reflects the student and their musical interests. We prioritize mental health to ensure that creativity and joy are the foundation of the work we do together.
