July 20–August 2
Course # YYHW Ø3-Ø4
Two–week session
Student Performances - Friday, August
1, 7 p.m.
An intense two–week workshop open to harpists of
all levels. Activities will include harp ensemble and
private lessons with an emphasis on ensemble skills and
musicality. The program will include harp ensemble performances
as well as the opportunity to perform solos for those
students who feel ready to do so. Based on their tapes,
more advanced students may be placed in Symphony Orchestra/Band
or in addition to harp ensemble. These students will rehearse
daily with the orchestra and will also receive individual
coaching on their orchestra parts as well as orchestra
skills in general.
All students should submit an audition tape (or CD) consisting
of one solo of their choice. Students who wish to be considered
for Symphony Orchestra should also include two orchestral
excerpts on their tape. Students will be expected to provide
their own instrument for the duration of the course. Students
should also provide their own tuner with pick-up, tuning
key, harp bench of appropriate height, and a full set
of spare strings.
Tuition, room and board: $2250
Enrollment limited to 8 students.
