Some Reports from Previous years in the Spring Piano School: (Click here to read more)
"Congratulations on a very successful initiative. My student was inspired and learnt so much about style and musical periods…"
"All in all, it was a wonderful opportunity for our children to learn in such a beautiful environment, play on exquisite instruments from Germany and to be taught by experts…""I found the school enjoyable, helpful and fun. I believe that the other students also liked this school very much as it was a good chance to improve our piano skills and at the same time, having (sic) fun and making friends."
The Team of Pianists thanks Bernies Music Land for piano sponsorship of 2005 Educational Events.
