Some visuals of our bi-annual Auditions and Evaluations Part 1.

The participants and advisors deserve a Bravo! 👏🏾 👏🏾

Music Education Auditions and Evaluations (A&E) is an educational program for harp students sponsored by the American Harp Society, Inc. Participants come specifically to be heard and to hear one another. Because this is a unique two-part program, there is special focus on the improvement that can be made by participating on both days.

The word “audition” comes from the Latin [audio] which means “to hear.” We must not confuse our Harp Society “Auditions” with the more common usage of the word audition; for this is not a competition. On the first day, participants play pieces of their own choosing for an advisor and for one another. The advisor gives each student feedback on their performance. A performer’s worksheet or traditional theory test is given. On the second day of the program, about a month later, participants show their improvement by playing the same pieces again. Because this is not a competition, no prizes are given, however everyone who participates both days receives a Certificate of Participation from the Music Education Committee of the American Harp Society.

Times running out.

How does electronic sound production and sound processing reinforce, stabilize, or destabilize how we feel gendered? ⚡️ How can the harp be a way to explore these deep questions about identity and perception? 👀 Noël Wan takes us on her journey as a harpist, from doing the competition circuit, to doing doctoral research on gender and the harp. 🪉

Kids for Camp Applications Now Open 😍 The Kids for Camp Award makes summer music camp or a harp conference a reality for a young harpist who might otherwise not have such an opportunity.
