The Arizona Piano Institute (API), based in the Phoenix metro area, has established itself as a premier music institution for artistic endeavors by young artists and guest artists alike.

Every June, we invite all young pianists, teachers, and the general public to join us for an exciting and inspiring week of activities during our Summer Festival. This festival, with its prestigious faculty roster, is an excellent opportunity for young piano students to participate in invaluable workshops, recitals and masterclasses. We feel privileged to have this right in the heart of Phoenix, a major metropolitan center that should rightly host a program of this kind and caliber. The atmosphere of our Summer Festival is unique, the motivational approach infectious, and the thoughtful insight, encouragement, and stimulation inspirational.

The Arizona Piano Institute is always striving to fulfill its mission and expand its program. We are an amazing team of dedicated directors who are deeply involved in Arizona’s musical community and invested in supporting young artists. Our diverse skills enable fruitful collaboration and heartfelt camaraderie, a remarkable yet rare combination. And it is all for the love of music that we gather with such warm spirits and commitment.

We also encourage you to take part. Collaborating with fellow artists is crucial, especially in a city rapidly growing in population and cultural identity. As such, we are combining forces with several partners and welcome you to collaborate with us, too. Once you see and experience who we are and what we accomplish, you will no doubt want to share and spread the word! 

Of course, none of this comes to fruition and sustains itself without the collective support of the community. Please consider making a gift to our non-profit organization, or volunteer and get a front row seat to some of the best masterclasses and workshops. Help us keep costs low and bring more enriching events to Arizona.

We invite you to browse our website for the latest details on our programs, upcoming events, and what we are all about. Use the menu on the left to find out more about who we are and what we do. You can also peruse our online store for recordings and memorabilia, which supports artists and API.

We wish you all the best in your musical odyssey,

The Arizona Piano Institute
