About SPI

Our mission is to offer gifted, aspiring musicians opportunities to develop their musicianship and humanity through an intense set of experiential activities.

Founded in 2010, SPI takes a collaborative approach to learning, combining immersion in piano with exposure to a variety of other disciplines in order to educate the whole student and encourage lifelong learning. This holistic, non-competitive approach distinguishes SPI from other entities.

Our programming offers:

  • Engaging and interactive private lessons and master classes.
  • Guest presentations from experts in fields such as performance psychology, African music, digital music and composition, movement in music, and more.
  • Opportunities to perform in public.

All of our activities are geared toward helping pianists develop and explore their craft, and to become well-rounded, lifelong learners.

... Participating in the Seattle Piano Institute was a fantastic experience for my 11 years old son. … I would highly recommend the Seattle Piano Institute to any young pianists who want to develop their musical artistry!
