Check here if you are flying to the seminar and will need to use our harp rental 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 YAHS. 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 YAHS? *

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