Harpists receive weekly private lessons and studio class, receive master classes from visiting artists and have the opportunity to receive additional lessons in orchestral repertoire.
CCPA's faculty is comprised of passionate teachers and performers who can be seen/heard on stages around the world, including here in Chicago with organizations such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Chamber music and ensemble studies are integrated into the curriculum, giving students regular opportunities to collaborate with students and faculty of other instruments.
