Hi! Newbie here. I'm a 29 year old female who is about to finish her PhD and has spring/summer available. I've always wanted to seriously learn classical piano and given the nice block of time available to me, now seems a good time to dive in. I'm looking for suggestions of programs which, in an ideal world, meet some or all of these criteria:
- Accepts beginners (obvious but important to note)
- Intensive/Extended program (3+ months is ideal, but anywhere in the 1-8 range is acceptable)
- Designed for adults/young adults (again obvious but noteworthy)
- Preferably international location (I'm located in the US and would, if at all possible, like to study abroad. I'm near fluent in Russian and intermediate in Spanish, however the courses/instruction would need to be in English).
- Cost is a factor in that I can't drop 10k USD for a semester long program, but am prepared to pay standard fees
- I'd like something all inclusive, which is a big one. I know I could just find a tutor in say, Austria--stay in a hostel, practice on my own...but in a perfect world I'd like an all inclusive program like those which are available for langauges. It'd be nice to get a total introduction through music theory lectures, music reading, etc.
Any suggestions on programs/schools/websites to begin looking would be very much appreciated!
