The 3rd Collaborative Piano Camp Thailand 2024, a part of Music Learning Fest #10 supported by Trinity College London, is a 10-day music camp with an aim to introduce Collaborative Piano Skills to pianists, which involve additional skills that are different than that of a solo pianist. Camp Participants will play with our artist faculties in the final concert at the BACC on August 9th.

Application is open to all nationalities. The camp includes lectures, private lessons, coaching sessions and master classes. Private lessons and coaching sessions can be conducted in English, Thai or Chinese at the participants’ preference.

The demand for trained, experienced collaborative pianists is rapidly increasing in Thailand, but very few institutions within the country offer courses or degrees in collaborative piano, resulting in many professionals having to fulfill such roles without formal training.

CPCT (Collaborative Piano Camp Thailand), founded by Ms. Jun Komatsu and Ms. Esther Ning Yau, is an annual music camp with an aim to introduce Collaborative Piano Skills to Thai pianists, which involve additional skills that are different than that of a solo pianist.
