News Release July 1st, 2020: Free Piano Learning Program by Non-profit Organization Piano Village Foundation to Support Essential Workers and Their Families During COVID-19 Pandemic in Connecticut

Piano Village Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has served as an educational platform since 2017. Started in Greenwich, CT, PVF now serves as an international platform dedicated to nurturing one’s musical journey and providing opportunities for youth leadership, guiding students in their efforts to use their passions to make an impact on the community. In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the PVF Team wants to give special recognition and thanks to all the essential workers that have served their community during this difficult time: From healthcare workers to grocery workers, thank you to everyone on the frontlines that have been working extra hard to protect and serve our communities. To do so, Piano Village Foundation is using its platform to design and provide free (excluding fee for learning materials), remote piano learning that is fun, educational, and effective to all who would like to learn. While music has always been an amazing outlet of expression, harnessing one’s creative energy during this pandemic, many people are unable to access music education due to financial hardships. Here at Piano Village Foundation, we are dedicated to making music education accessible to everyone who wants to learn.

Whether you simply want to start learning piano as a fun hobby or are thinking of seriously studying the piano, we will provide you a strong foundation for all your future musical endeavors through playing the piano and understanding music theory, regardless of your background in music. There will be eight 30-minute classes over a month starting July 18, with the last session being a celebration of learning, where everyone can showcase their growth in the past sessions. And although this is a special free event, our student leaders are still dedicated to teaching the materials thoroughly and participants will see significant results.

The program is led by Felicia Feng Zhang, President of PVF, an award-winning duo National Certified Piano Teacher and American College of Musicians from the National Music Teacher Association, along with accomplished high school and college student, PVF youth leaders Clara Tu, Eva Zhang, Serena Arnold, and Alexander Tu under the instruction of Felicia Feng Zhang’s 3EFM method and remarkable curriculum. These youth leaders have achieved various awards from piano performance, having performed several times in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, etc. in addition to some earning their Artist Diploma in Performance and Pedagogy Gold Medal Certification from the Royal Conservatory of Music.

You will be surprised at how quickly and how much you will learn from this program, learning how to play the piano as early as your first day in class. We hope you will join us on this musical journey.
