The Lawrence Academy of Music Piano Festival allows piano students the opportunity to demonstrate their musical knowledge though performance, musicianship, and theory. Students in grades K-12 from throughout the Fox Valley are eligible to participate. Students are required to learn and memorize two pieces, one of which must be written by a contemporary composer, as well as complete a theory test, technique requirement and answer questions concerning each piece. Winners are chosen by an adjudicator and are given the opportunity to play in a recital. Students are registered for the festival by their piano instructors. For more information contact the Academy at (920) 832-6632.

Each year Lawrence Academy of Music sponsors a fun-filled family event, tutti!, (Italian for "play together") to benefit the Academy's financial assistance program.
This fall the event was held on October 24 at Lawrence University's new Richard and Margot Warch Campus Center. The funds raised will help provide financial-assistance for families who would not otherwise be able to afford music instruction for their children.
Please contact the Academy at 920-832-6632 if you would like to contribute to the tutti! scholarship fund, or if you would like more information on volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
