The harp is an extremely versatile and adaptable instrument, capable of moving beyond the classical and traditional dimension to fit into contemporary contexts, following the evolution common to many instruments.

The Pop/Rock Harp Master, through the knowledge of specific skills in arranging, composition and improvisation and stimulating research, will be aimed at inserting the harp in the contexts of Popular Music and/or the development of experimental projects ad hoc in dialogue with contemporary languages. Furthermore, the knowledge of unconventional techniques, technologies and supporting effects enhance its timbral uniqueness in such musical contexts.

The Master's teacher Raoul Moretti, a versatile and experimental harpist who has developed a very original and personal approach to the instrument, will be supported by Visiting professors such as Vincenzo Zitello, an internationally renowned harpist, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

The teaching activity programme, characterized by individual, group and collective lessons and dedicated masterclasses, includes 366 hours of lessons, with a total of 1500 hours made up of study activities, internships, masterclasses and preparation for the final test.
