Description: | | The purpose of the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival is to understand and encourage the
uniqueness of each student’s talents and career goals. Our program offers an exceptional and
exciting mixture of traditional and innovative classes, lessons and concerts with an international
faculty and renowned guests plus all the practice time you could wish for (7:30 am to midnight).
The goal is to promote a creative and successful enhancement to the traditional academic
school year. There are daily lessons, classes and performance opportunities. Students design their
own course of study and may have lessons and classes with as many teachers as possible.
