Participants in The Sonatas, The Sonata Intermezzo, and Summer Sonatina enjoy strong musical programs presented in a noncompetitive and supportive environment. The friendly, family-style lessons are housed in a charming historic mansion in Old Bennington, Vermont, chock full of pianos waiting to be played. Participants and students come from more than 40 states, Canada and other countries around the world to play piano, to learn music, to have fun and to make a connection with other like-minded music-loving individuals. Many return year after year to reconnect with the keyboard and rekindle friendships.
