Why is It?
A great time for students of all ages to have fun creating and performing a piano piece, without competition and in a fun environment.

Do I Have to Own a Clavinova to Participate?
No. Your teacher has a Clavinova in his studio and will help prepare you for your performance during regularly scheduled lessons.
What is My Time Commitment on that Weekend?
The weekend is broken into 1-hour performance times. You will be asked to attend the full hour that you are scheduled to perform. All attempts will be made to keep family members in the same hour. There will be a grand celebration on Sunday afternoon for all participants, although attendance is not required.
