Masterclasses, studio classes, and student awards — moments from the IPP community.
Online doesn't mean alone.
IPP students perform, compete, and celebrate together — and world-class guest artists join us throughout the year.
Every few weeks, an accomplished pianist-educator joins IPP to coach our students and share their artistry. A few of our recent guests:
