PHI is dedicated to providing aspiring harpists with the resources, learning environment and performance opportunities necessary to advance their harp skills. PHI addresses all aspects of harp playing and performance including proper technique, artistic expression, stylistic expression, musicianship, focus, discipline, and persistence.
