Passing on the joy of playing together
The piano is often seen as a solitary instrument. Yet some of the most beautiful pages of its repertoire were written to be played by two.
It is this singular experience that Piano-Piano wishes to share with the very young.
Through school visits, discovery workshops, and exchanges with professional artists or the young musicians of the Piano-Piano Academy, we invite children to approach music differently: as a space for curiosity, imagination, and sharing.
These sessions do not set out to train future pianists. They open a door. The door to a world where music becomes a shared language, open to everyone, whatever their knowledge or experience.
Because sometimes, a single encounter with an instrument, a piece, or an artist is enough to awaken a curiosity that will stay with a child for the rest of their life.
In practice
Depending on the projects and partnerships in place, Piano-Piano can offer discovery workshops in piano four hands, encounters with artists, school visits, or teaching resources for educators.
Summer Courses
The Piano-Piano Courses were born of a simple conviction: music is passed on as much through encounter as through teaching.
Throughout the year, Piano-Piano runs courses and academies in various venues, in France and abroad, all in the same spirit: artistic excellence, warmth, and the joy of playing together.
Each course is an immersion in the Piano-Piano world: individual and group lessons, exploration of the repertoire, ensemble work, exchanges with guest artists, concerts, and shared moments among participants.
Beyond musical progress, these courses are a chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, to explore an exceptional repertoire, and to live, for a few days, an adventure both human and artistic, built on listening, dialogue, and collaboration.
Because a duo is not built at the keyboard alone: it is also built through encounters, conversations, and shared experiences.
Summer Course 2026, Paris
From 10 to 16 July 2026, Piano-Piano is holding its first international course at the École Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot.
Led by Ludmila Berlinskaya and Arthur Ancelle, this intensive week is open to advanced amateur pianists, students, and young artists wishing to work on the solo, four-hand, or two-piano repertoire.
