Submit your audition recording in CD, DVD, or MP3 format.

Home recording equipment is adequate if you feel it gives a good representation of your playing.

Harp ensemble rehearsal

Guidelines for submitting your audition recording:

It is necessary for us to listen to an audition recording from new prospective students to insure a minimum standard among seminar attendees. Choose music that you are comfortable performing and that demonstrates your current level of ability. Choose music from the standard solo classical harp repertoire (i.e., no pop or jazz). You do not need to include orchestral excerpts on your audition recording. There is no length requirement for your audition recording.

You may send either a video or audio recording. Record in a quiet setting free from any distracting noise that would prevent us from fully appreciating your performance. You should use the best equipment possible, but it is not necessary to submit a professionally produced recording; home recording equipment is adequate if you feel it gives a good representation of your performance.

Audition recordings must be submitted as CDs or DVDs that can be played in a standard CD or DVD player. We also accept and encourage MP3 files submitted electronically. Do not send tapes, mini DVs, or any format not listed here.

Audition recordings may be waived by special permission, such as demonstration of advanced-level musical achievements. Contact us to inquire. College students majoring in harp are not required to submit audition recordings. Returning students are not required to send an audition recording unless they are applying for a scholarship. Students sending video DVDs to enter the Young Artist's Harp Competition do not need to send an audition recording to the Young Artist's Harp Seminar.
