Harp Study at Preucil
In recent years, a generation of harpists has evolved using the Suzuki method. These harpists are playing at higher levels at younger ages. There are harps of all sizes for every age, from the pre-school to adult. This allows for early involvement with the instrument and leads to life-long enjoyment of music.
Harpists are provided with these musical opportunities:
Individual Lessons
Students ages four and older (including adults) may enroll in individual weekly
lessons.
Recitals
Students perform annually in a formal recital held in Wilson Auditorium or the
North Campus. Optional recitals include Book Recitals and Solo Recitals for
advanced students.
Group Class and Harp-Ins
Harp group class and play-ins will be offered throughout the year at no charge.
Meeting times will be arranged for the convenience of all participants.
Master Classes
Occasionally, visiting performing artists work with our advanced students. All
students are encouraged to attend.
Certificate Program
Students in grades 9-12 may participate in this two-year program, which is structured
to challenge each student to read, write, hear and perform the musical language
with a high degree of literacy. Required classes include Literature and Materials
of Music, Group Piano Instruction, Chamber Music and Private Instrumental Lessons.
This program is supported through a gift to the school.
Local Performances
Preucil School harp students will have the opportunity to take part in community
outreach performances throughout the year. Venues include the University of
Iowa Museum of Art, Hancher Lobby, UIHC, Mercy Hospital and area retirement
residences.
