For 30 years, the PEP program has been providing quality piano lessons with performing opportunities to area children and adults at a reasonable rate on the University of New Hampshire (Durham) campus and overseen by Rebecca Austin-Bolster. Lessons are taught by advanced piano students or graduates with a music degree who have demonstrated the ability and enthusiasm for teaching. These private lessons are either 30 or 45 minutes in length and take place in the Paul Creative Arts Center of the University of New Hampshire. 

Besides private lessons, students of the PEP are also eligible to play in a group class and in the Student Recital held in the Bratton Recital Hall with no extra costs. 

The lessons are offered in the Fall and Spring semesters, concurrent with UNH's academic calendar. 

Thank you for your interest in the PEP at UNH and please email Rebecca.Austin-Bolster@unh.edu for any inquiries.
