2026-2027 Piano Teacher Engagement Series

The Piano Teacher Engagement Series 2026–2027 is a professional development program for piano teachers. This year's series is dedicated to Marvin Blickenstaff, whose teaching and mentorship have influenced generations of piano educators.

The two special events include a celebration of the life and legacy of Marvin Blickenstaff and an open forum for piano teachers. Each gathering encourages thoughtful conversation, the exchange of ideas, and practical application in the studio.

Designed for teachers at every stage of their careers, The Piano Teacher Engagement Series provides an opportunity to learn with colleagues, examine current approaches to teaching, and build on a shared commitment to excellence in piano education.
