Harpsichord at Westminster

Students from all majors and departments study harpsichord at Westminster, exploring the instruments’ rich repertory and history, and learning to apply practical techniques in historical performance practice.*

The Instrument

Most practice, instruction and performance takes place on the Westminster’s Dupree Flemish-style harpsichord.

Performance

The harpsichord is regularly used for accompaniment.  Each semester enrolled harpsichordists have opportunities for solo performance.

* For some elective credits additional fees may apply.
