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 Instruments
Most practice and instruction takes place on the Flemish-style harpsichord by Anderson Dupree. Harpsichords by Bannister and Dowd are also available.

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.
