For harpists looking at colleges this fall, we’ve got a few more to for you to consider. Our college harp program listings that appeared in the July/August 2013 issue of Harp Column included 114 college, university, and conservatory programs. Here are 29 more that didn’t make it into our original article. We include only four-year colleges, universities, and conservatories with a harp instructor on the faculty in our listings.
