Performance Opportunities
Performing and sharing music with others is an integral aspect of piano playing. Because of this, numerous opportunities are awarded to all students throughout the year. Three student recitals, two masterclasses and monthly studio classes take place in various venues throughout the Philadelphia region.
Many enter in additional festivals and competitions throughout the year. Many students have been prize winners at Little Mozarts Competition, Triumph Music Festival, Dorothy Sutton Piano Festival, and Constance Murray Piano Festival. Some students go on to compete in local, national, and international music festivals and competitions.
