Hilltop Piano Institute
Important Announcement
Current Ohio regulations related to COVID-19 would prevent HPI. But Ohio has announced immediate removal of restrictions when a two-week average positive test rate (below 50 per 100,000 residents) is reached. Current projections are that this may be achieved in April or early May.
If that occurs, we will hold HPI this year!
Because this is tied to state data, we cannot project with certainty. We will keep this page updated, and we will post updates to the GBSC Facebook page.
If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact Dr. Jana, camp director.
Location
God’s Bible School & College
Dates
If held (see “Important Announcement”), May 31 – June 4, 2021
Why should I attend the Hilltop Piano Institute?
Our goal is to enhance your enjoyment of the piano and to foster a deeper appreciation for music and music ministry while working together with a supportive community of enthusiastic teachers. Students who attend our camp participate in fun and engaging group activities.
Here are a few of the possibilities:
- Dive into the creative side of music
- Become more effective in practice & performance.
- Visit the lives and drama of famous composers.
- Explore a specific musical focus: playing with other instrumentalists and/or accompanying; hymn-playing, improvisation and arranging; building skills like sight-reading and ear training, or the organ.
The classes and activities are upbeat with lots of interaction between students and teachers. The Hilltop Piano Institute provides a thriving environment in which you will learn, grow and have fun at the same time.
