Welcome to the Rollins College Summer Piano Academy, presented in collaboration with artists from the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park! This academy is an immersive experience tailored for pianists seeking to enrich their skills across the areas of solo performance, collaborative repertoire, and theoretical dimensions. Throughout the week, participants will engage in a rich tapestry of performances, lessons, and masterclasses. The academy offers a broad range of musical experiences designed to elevate the musical capacity and artistic depth of the participants. At the conclusion of the academy, participants will have the chance to showcase their skills in solo or ensemble performances.

Come Join Us to Explore Everything about the Piano!
The Rollins College Summer Music Piano Academy is meticulously crafted to elevate your piano skills and nurture artistic expression. Participants will engage in one-on-one lessons, masterclasses, and a relaxed ambiance with Rollins College faculty and esteemed International Guest Artists, fostering a unique opportunity for personal connections. Our commitment to maintaining a low instructor-to-student ratio aims to cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships.
The benefits extend beyond the festival offerings, encompassing exclusive opportunities for collaboration with guest artists affiliated with Rollins College and the Bach Festival Society, renowned for bringing world-class musicians to the stage.
Interactive sessions will explore a range of topics, including music theory and the realities of surviving as a musician, with insights shared by the director of the Bach Society, Dr. Sinclair. This presents a rare chance to glean wisdom from a living legend, shaping the path to a successful future as an artist.
Every participant will have the opportunity to share the stage with faculty members during the culminating Bye-Recital.
To maximize your experience, we encourage full program participation. However, we also offer the flexibility to attend up to three events (audits) and register for private lessons only.
