Open to piano students with 1+ years of experience, this immersive week features one-on-one lessons, duo and trio coaching, rhythm workshops, master classes, and engaging breakout sessions on topics like composition, extended techniques, and musicians’ health. Students enjoy access to excellent on-site practice facilities, catered dinners for full-day participants, and optional residence accommodations (for an extra fee).

This program culminates in a public recital on July 10 at 2:00 pm in our beautiful recital hall.
