2012 Preparatory Piano Competition Scheduled for March 3, 2012

This year's Nashville Piano Achievement Competition is sheduled for March 3 at the McMeen Music Center on the Lipscomb University Campus; in 2011 this event hosted over fifty students along with their families and teachers. NPAC is a structured program for preparatory piano students to learn and perform quality literature, and to be rewarded for excellence in performance. The competition was founded and managed for many years by several of Nashville's excellent private piano teachers.
