TCU Summer Harp Workshop

What makes this camp experience unique is:

"Students looking for a short term camp tailored to fit the needs of the students enrolled."

This camp is perfect for:

"Campus life experience and small group setting (less than 20 students)."

Students come back year after year for our camp's:

"Varied program, harp ensemble, dynamic guest artists, and non-competitive environment."

This workshop offers 3 days of solo masterclasses, harp ensemble, movement class, as well as interactive and informative workshop sessions about the harp. In addition to ensemble rehearsals, each student will have the opportunity to receive individually tailored instruction on a prepared solo of their own choosing. Students may select repertoire from standard harp solo literature, All-State etudes, orchestral excerpts, harp concerto, or chamber music repertoire. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to perform on the final recital.

The TCU Summer Harp Workshop is open to young harpists entering 8th grade and above, intermediate to advanced level. Younger students may be considered for acceptance with director’s approval.
