Music requirements for the seminar
To fully benefit from their intensive harp study at the Young Artist's Harp Seminar, students are expected to come prepared with the following materials:
- Two recital pieces ready to perform. (Memorization of recital pieces is strongly encouraged, but not mandatory.)
- At least one additional solo piece in progress
- Two prepared orchestral excerpts
- At least one additional orchestral excerpt in progress
- Preparation of harp ensemble music. (A comprehensive list of music to purchase and part assignments will be sent well in advance of the seminar.)
Students attending YAHS are of varied ages and levels of playing. Older, more experienced players should bring more music; likewise younger, less experienced players will be fine with the minimum suggested here. Please involve your home teacher in your music selections. If you have additional questions about repertoire, please contact the faculty instructors. We would much prefer that you inquire about music before the seminar rather than arrive without suitable music in these areas.
