As a piano student, you’re learning, practicing, and performing all on your own. This year has been even more challenging than most. How can you stay motivated, try new things, take risks, and feel supported during the summer?

Imagine one week where you could eat, sleep, and breathe piano. You’ll start your mornings with a built-in community of supportive friends, piano students, and teachers who love piano as much as you do. You’ll gain experience with different types of piano duos and ensembles and expand your technical skills with piano lab and masterclasses. And you’ll work on your own solo repertoire during private lessons, practice time, and performances.

Piano Pairs is the perfect place to:

• go beyond the practice room and gain new skills and repertoire in piano 4-hand and 2-piano ensembles
• build confidence and experience performing
• be encouraged by the expert guidance of our piano teaching artists
• have an incredible fun week with new friends who speak your musical language
