The Rocky Mountain Springs Harp Program strives to supplement the education of young harpists through intensive summer programs which treat each harpist as a whole person, with teachers who act as mentors and friends.
Training in harp technique, musicianship and performance is enhanced by program elements designed to improve mental attitudes and abilities, physical health and conditioning, aesthetic appreciation, and connections between music and other disciplines.

In addition to focusing on technique and taking care of our bodies as musicians, working with other musicians is an important part of the program. Harp students work closely with each other in harp ensemble and with strings students at the Rocky Mountain Summer Conservatory. We encourage students with brothers or sisters who play other instruments to apply to both programs. For more information visit our website, rmsharp.org.
