The Piano Academy at Fort Lewis College provides an exceptional opportunity for young intermediate to advanced pianists grades 4-12 to improve their skills and teamwork. Auditions are required. Daily private lessons and group coachings will improve sight-reading, technique, working with others, all while having fun.
