The Harp Department’s undergraduate and postgraduate courses cover solo, concerto and chamber repertoire and all aspects of orchestral playing.
'I had four amazing years here and inspirational teachers who led and guided me. The standard of playing now is inspiring'
Catrin Finch, alumna and visiting professor
From Baroque to jazz, our harpists are trained to take on anything the music profession requires.
The harp is thoroughly integrated into the life and work of the Academy, with students collaborating regularly with composers and other instrumentalists, and new works being commissioned every year by the Harp Department. Our professors include celebrated performers and recording artists. You will have the opportunity to work with specialists in orchestral and contemporary repertoire, early harp, jazz and opera as well as distinguished visiting professors.
Academy harpists have won prizes in international competitions and many alumni hold orchestral and teaching positions worldwide.
