educational projects. We are particularly
committed to the workshops for young chil-
dren: Little Piano School and KlavierGarten. To
that effect, our members’ contributions have
helped finance the pianos which have been
placed in participating kindergarten schools.
These workshops use an educational method
especially designed for young children, further
developed by the Festival. The method requires
special training. The Association helps finance
the equal-access fund which allows all children
to attend the workshops, regardless of their
social background. Furthermore, the Association
is a shareholder in the “Klavier-Festival
Sponsoring und Service GmbH”.
