What goes on in Piano Workshops? Workshops are for students aged 5-14.
These are informal student get-togethers. Workshops give students the opportunity to play for each other and to discuss musical topics and to participate in musical activities. This gets students used to playing in front of others, and provides a positive incentive for practice throughout the year! Students really enjoy meeting one another and making musical friendships. Parents or guardians are asked to leave
their children off for this student's-only get-together. Please bring goodies or beverages to share with other students.

What goes on in Piano Forums? Forums are for students aged 15-120.
Performance is not required, but students are given the opportunity to play for each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Participants are encouraged to offer suggestions and discussion related to pieces played. In addition, each month a different topic related to piano performance study will be focused on. Students are invited to come with questions. Please bring refreshments.

What are the Recitals like? Recitals are structured but informal, definitely a safe haven for those of us with Performance Anxiety! Students may bring family and friends. These Recitals aim to bring the joy back into playing for others. The Butterfield Room makes a very attractive recital hall with seating capacity for 80 people. They even have a brand new Steinway grand piano. Students are asked to bring goodies or beverages to celebrate their accomplishments. Students aged
5-14 are assigned to the earlier recital time and students 15-120 are assigned to the later recital time.
