The Course includes daily half-hour individual lessons in an open master class setting, some ensemble playing, yoga and other classes, and an opportunity to workshop aspects of harp playing such as relaxation, sound production and repertoire. Participants should bring their own harps, or arrange to share.

Set in idyllic coastal surroundings near Bawley Point on the NSW South Coast, just 30 minutes north of Batemans Bay, accommodation is in double rooms in self-contained cottages (max 6 people per cottage) with their own shared bathroom facilities. From each cottage it is a short walk, past paddocks, kangaroos and forest to the beach.
