Now in their sixteenth year, the Summer Harp Institutes offer four individual weeks of intensive study of the harp.

- The Summer Harp Institute Includes:
- 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!

The Richmond Summer Harp Institute helped me decide that I wanted to pursue harp as my career. I have a deeper appreciation of music because of the music history and theory classes which were incredibly inspirational. It was truly an amazing and life-changing experience for me!
