About SHI
Now in their seventeenth year, the Summer Harp Institutes offer five separate weeks of intensive study of the harp.
The Summer Harp Institutes Include:
- A daily schedule of classes
- Coaching by our distinguished faculty
- Daily individual attention
- Daily ensemble rehearsals
- Workshops/seminars
- Musicianship skills
- Fun extracurricular activities
- Final "Works in Progress" concert
And much more!
Harpists will focus on technique and performance skills in a supportive and inspiring musical environment. Music will be chosen to match student abilities, and, by the end of the first day, students will already be able to play a piece as part of an ensemble!
