New Exciting Online course now available to book!
The friendliest piano summer school in the world
The Chetham's International Piano Summer School (CIPSS) is a source of inspiration, fun, insight and focus for everyone who enjoys the piano and piano playing. In view of the current worldwide crisis we have structured an exciting new online course for this year’s Chetham’s piano summer school and Junior academy. We are thrilled that the faculty are completely supportive of this new venture.
Now in its twentieth year, it continues to grow and develop as a 'piano republic of equals'. There is no elitism on the course, though everyone is extremely serious about piano playing. There is no other summer school that manages to cater for the universal: Adult amateurs, promising children and observers are as welcome on the course as concert pianists, international young artists preparing for top competitions, and professional music teachers.

A new exciting addition to the summer school. The Junior Piano Academy is in four sections and is only open to under 18’s
15 course options, 35 teachers, outstanding evening recitals – open to all (under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times)
15 course options, 36 teachers, outstanding evening recitals – open to all (under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times)

Testimonials
you promised me a 'great big musical hug' - and that was it in a nutshell!
Just a quick note to thank you, and indeed all the team, for a fantastic week at the Summer School. I have to say I was quite apprehensive but really enjoyed it all - and have learnt just so much.

It was my first experience at a piano summer school but I could not have hoped for anything better than what I got. Everything was so smooth and so well organised, I was really impressed.
