    Harp Ensemble

    Harp Ensemble classes provide a joyful, collaborative environment for young harpists to grow musically and socially. Playing in a group fosters essential ensemble skills such as rhythm, listening, following a conductor, and shaping musical expression as a team.

    Each student is given a unique part, thoughtfully arranged to match their level, ensuring a supportive yet challenging experience. Past repertoire has included a wide range of genres—from classical and folk to pop, film music, and jazz—offering something for every musical taste. Groups typically include 5–8 students, and all levels are welcome.
