Harpsichord at YSM
The School of Music’s harpsichord program aims to give students a command of solo literature from the late Renaissance through to the pre-Classical periods, as well as extensive Baroque ensemble experience leading to fluent continuo realization with both singers and instrumentalists. Students also study Baroque performance practice, organology, and harpsichord tuning and maintenance. Harpsichordists at the Yale School of Music have the opportunity to perform on restored keyboard instruments at the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments.
