Check here if you are flying to the seminar and will need to use our harp pool system? *

No

Yes

Not sure yet

This year, to conserve practice room space, and ease harp moving to ensembles and classes, we will be using a new communal harp rental system. This means that students will not be assigned a rental instrument in a 1:1 fashion, rather each student will have access to a number of harps for practice and performance.

Check here if you are driving to the seminar and would like to participate in our harp rental pool system if space is available.

No

Yes

Not sure yet

Please note: If you are driving, you should plan to bring your own harp. Rental harps in our harp pool system are limited and priority is given to international students and others flying to Prep. We know that driving with a harp can be difficult, but everyone is in the same situation. If extra harps become available, we will offer them to drivers. Please check here if you are interested.

What kind of harp do you play at home? *

What kind of harp will you bring to Prep? Please specify lever or pedal, make, model, and number of strings. *

If you intend on using the pool system, please just write that.

Music Reading * 1) I am a strong reader and can sight-read very well. 2) I am a good reader and don't mind trying to sightread, although it's not always perfect. 3) I can read comfortably as long as I have a little bit of time to prepare with a new piece. 4) I am not a comfortable reader and need a lot of time to prepare when given a new piece.

Please choose an option to describe your music reading skills. Be honest in your assessment as this will help us get to know you better.
