Harp

The Harp program welcomes campers of all levels and abilities, though rhythm and note-reading experience is highly recommended for the week-long session.  Within the class lessons, there will be presentations, collaborations with other instruments, and exploratory sessions in harp literature, technique, improvisation, and more.  Campers can expect to play in a harp ensemble and work on music in a variety of musical styles and genres with music provided at least one month in advance of camp arrival.  Prior preparation is expected.

All interested youth campers with at least 3 years of private harp study are welcome!  The Session 6 Harp program is open to campers who have completed grade 7 through 12, and Session 7 Harp programs are open to ages 21 and up.

Campers are strongly encouraged to bring their own harp, either pedal or lever as well as the following items: a tuner, tuning key, spare strings, bench, stand, and any solo music they wish to work on in lessons.

For those who need to rent an instrument, our instructor Dr. Jaclyn Wappel, has a limited number of lever harps available for a one-time fee.  Please contact jaclyn.wappel@gmail.com for additional details.
