Tuition includes access to daily concerts by distinguished guest artists.<\/p>\n

In addition to performance preparation, the FPF Academy offers seminars on topics ranging from career goals to piano technique, performance anxiety, and competition\/audition preparation. Drawing from Flagstaff\u2019s unique history and geographical setting, the FPF Academy promotes the outdoors and a healthy living-learning environment that includes hiking and visits to local attractions.<\/p>\n
