The Ithaca College School of Music invites talented young pianists, aged 12 through 18, for 10 days of intensive piano study in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

The Summer Piano Institute at Ithaca College is a comprehensive program of varied musical experiences held on the beautiful IC campus.

Participants use the superb facilities of the James J. Whalen Center for Music, where a nationally and internationally known piano faculty provides a lively array of daily lessons, workshops, classes, and supervised practice.
