The Rocky Mountain Springs Harp Program strives to supplement the education of young harpists through intensive summer programs which treat each harpist as a whole person, with teachers who act as mentors and friends.

In addition to focusing on technique and taking care of our bodies as musicians, working with other musicians is an important part of the program. Harp students work closely with each other in harp ensemble and chamber music collaborations with the Rocky Mountain Summer Conservatory. We also stay active and hike often in the Rocky Mountains! Early bird applicants are eligible for tuition discounts, and scholarships are available.
We are optimistically planning for 2021 summer sessions in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. If public health concerns prevent us from meeting in person, we will offer online opportunities. All interested students are encouraged to apply through our free application!
