I definitely feel for you. My son plays the double bass and we are kind of in the same boat that we are only looking at schools we can drive to (partly his preference). Auditions are expensive but having to bring a really large instrument adds to the expense and stress. We are lucky in that there are some good options near us. You might want to look to see if there are other schools that you haven’t thought about that are within a days drive. University of Miami and University of Florida are both good options. You could probably drive to Houston for Rice. Have you considered the University of North Texas? I don’t know about their harp program, but their music program in general is very good. There may be some excellent harp teachers at schools that otherwise are not top tier for music. Also, I agree that paying for a good recording might help.
