Mesa Public Schools Music Education
|
In 1974, with the visionary leadership of the music department and the support of the Superintendent, the harp program was developed. The program was established and designed to provide the high school orchestras and bands with harpists of sufficient technical and musical skills to play the harp parts that are required in full orchestral and band works. The complexity of this instrument and the added sophistication to the senses that the harp provides creates a higher level of aesthetics to the music. Harps are an additional musical instrumental choice at several of our
schools. Six junior highs and each of our six high schools have district
harps placed at them for students to participate in the harp program. |
