Our Performance Workshop program allows students to have an opportunity to play in a very open, informal, and accepting environment. Students should bring pieces they are working on to share with fellow students. Our goal for performance workshops is to have every participant play one solo piece, and one duet or ensemble piece.

Students are highly encouraged to participate in performance workshops. Having a goal and opportunity for performance is essential for stimulating motivation for lesson progress and allowing students a chance to have fun!

These workshops are completely free for our current and active students. (Outside students may attend and participate in the workshops for a modest fee, however availability for non-students is limited in order to give our students priority)
