Harp

The Tone Galaxie harp department integrates new students into the full musical life of the school from the moment they arrive.

Working with distinguished artist-faculty members Elizabeth Hainen and Noël Wan, harpists study solo repertoire and concertos, orchestral repertoire, and chamber music.

Tone Galaxie aims to educate and train musicians for 21st-century careers as performers on the highest professional level, through a unique learn-by-doing approach. Students can expect to perform often on the Student Recital Series and in other school-sponsored recitals from the beginning of their Tone Galaxie careers.

  • "Tone Galaxie promotes excellence and inspires young musicians to take their talents to great height."

    — Elizabeth Hainen
