Piano Ensembles
Welcome to the wonderful world of piano ensembles!

For pianists who spend much of their time practising and performing alone, there is nothing more fun and exciting than making music with another musician, especially when their are 2 to 4 pianists playing together in an ensemble.

As part of the core program for students in the Intermediate program and those in the Junior program who have the requisite reading skills, students will be paired with a pianist of a similar playing level to study a piano duet which will be performed at the final Piano Concert at the end of the week.

Music is sent ahead of time so that students can learn both parts of the duet before coming to SOSI. The class will focus on the art of becoming a sensitive and confident ensemble player.

More fingers, more music, more fun!
Percussion for Pianists
with Arun Pal (ON)

Using drums, xylophones, and many other exciting percussion instruments provided by WLU, pianists will improve their rhythmic reading and improvisational skills. Lots of fun!
Solo Recitals
Every student at SOSI has the opportunity to perform in a solo recital.
