The harp is also a part of the string family.  It has LOTS of strings, and is plucked - never played with the bow.

We only allow ONE harp player per year at Ted Polk.  You must have at least 3 years of piano experience to play the harp, and you must be willing to take harp lessons from a harp teacher (costs $15 a week).  Even though you will be a harp player, you will also have to learn how to play violin, viola, cello or bass as well, because there is not a lot of harp music to play in the middle school.  If you're interested in being a harpist, please ask Mrs. Gauthier or Mrs. Boemer at Instrument Night!
