YOUNG MUSICIANS FESTIVAL
Harp Syllabus
Revised January 17, 2017
Memory is strongly suggested but not required.
Popular music is not allowed.
Harps will be provided. All contestants will use the instruments that are provided.
Pre-Primary Guidelines: Juniors should be no more than eight years of age and have studied no more than one year.
Concerto Event: Contestants may play one movement of any standard concerto with or without accompaniment. No additional music is required. Points accrue as a separate event, unless the entrant is a senior, in which case they can be added to the total of other YMF events.
