Lights, camera... recording! Whether you're belting out Wicked, singing your own version of Adele, or working on a classical aria, there’s a spot - and a high note! - waiting just for you. Spend 3 afternoons in private lessons and workshops with professional voice instructors. Participate in sessions on topics such as performance anxiety and breathing. And, on the third day, you’ll head into the Music Department’s recording studio to professionally record your favourite number! That’s right — headphones on, mic hot, and you in the studio like a Broadway pro. You’ll leave this program with your very own recording. Register today, as this program is limited to 15.

Join us for our annual non-auditioned Lethbridge Piano Intensive program July 6-12, 2025. This program is geared at half days for piano students aged 7-12, and full days for ages 13-20. Students spend all of this time on the U of L campus, working with faculty from the U of L Music Department and Music Conservatory in one-on-one lessons, duo/trio coaching, rhythm workshops, master classes, and extra-curricular activities. Break out sessions may include topics such as extended techniques, song-writing/composition, musicians' health and more. Students will access on-site practice rooms in the University's excellent facilities and full day students receive catered dinners each night! On-site accommodations in U of L residence are also available for an extra fee. This program is perfect for any interested piano student with just 1+ years of experience!
This program will culminate in a final participants' concert open to the public in our beautiful recital hall on July 12 at 2pm. The goal of this program is to provide students of all ages and skill levels an inspiring experience to learn, grow and make lasting friendships with other pianists.
