PIPC is happy to announce a volunteering program with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh Sunday Piano series.
On the second last Sunday of each month (1-3pm), the Museum Lab is looking for student pianists to perform a short program and teach a couple of short sample piano lessons to children who are visiting the museum. These can be high school students, college students, or mature middle school students. We will have a template for mini lessons (20 min), so the students can just follow the lesson plan, instead of making their own. For the performance, any repertoire is fine: pop, jazz, classical, need not to be performance ready. The Museum is happy to sign off on the volunteering hours.
Students can sign up as individuals, duo, ensemble,etc. There is an upright piano at the museum. All is pretty informal and easy going. No need to stress about it.

Please spread the words and students/parents can email me if interested. Here is a signup sheet for 2/18 event. Children's Museum Sunday Piano Serie (2/18/24)
