Auditors

CPI Online 2020 allowed us to try out and succeed in a feature we had been itching to include as part of the Institute: offering the option of auditing! Through the years we received notes from many pianists unable to take time off work or school to attend CPI in person, and the idea of offering remote learning had been germinating in our minds. It wasn’t until 2020, when our knowledge of technology and the necessity to reach out to as many pianists that needed us made the Auditor track a reality.

After a successful first run, we decided to keep the virtual Auditor track as a regular option for attending the Collaborative Piano Institute. You can watch all sessions LIVE or watch them later (we record all public activities and they will be available for unlimited view until the end of the summer).
