“As a student who has attended YAHS, the camp has brought me a new found sense of musical creativity and freedom. After camp, I approach the harp with an invigorated passion, as well as new techniques, friendships and mentors to guide me along the way.”

“The past five summers at YAHS were incredible opportunities for growth as a harpist and for building friendships I cherish. I can’t thank the YAHS community enough – faculty, administrators, and fellow harpists – for being so central to my growth in every way.  It is an opportunity to be challenged and, at the same time, to enjoy the unique camaraderie of harp friends. I will treasure these memories forever. YAHS has become a part of my essence…I couldn’t recommend the program more!”

“Attending YAHS marks a significant milestone for me, not only as my first time at the camp but also as a unique opportunity to perform alongside so many other harpists. The excitement of meeting new people and being exposed to diverse musical pieces and techniques has been incredible. I am deeply grateful for the chance to be here, soaking in knowledge and forging connections, making lifelong friends.”

“I loved going to YAHS because it was such a special experience being with so many amazing harpists. The faculty and musical opportunities are absolutely wonderful and I’m so grateful I went.”

“My favorite musical memory at YAHS was the masterclass with Nancy Allen. She has been one of the harpists I have looked up to since I began playing and it was an honor to play for her. With it being the first masterclass I have played at, I was very nervous but she was very helpful and full of ideas to help me bring out my abilities.”
