About Us

The Bay Area International Piano Competition was originally founded in the Bay Area by a group of dedicated music educators who shared a common vision: to inspire students of all levels through meaningful goals and high-quality performance opportunities. 

​​

We are devoted to piano artistry and committed to supporting each student’s musical growth and pursuit of excellence. Many of our competitors enter multiple editions and we regularly recognize their commitment and improvement.

​

To this end, we offer:

• Two detailed (1–2 page) comment sheets from adjudicators. Most competitions offer very little, if any feedback

• A certificate mailed to each participant

Winners will:

• Be featured on our website and social media pages

• Receive an invitation to our virtual showcase

• Be invited to participate in a master class

• Receive tuition assistance

We welcome participants of all ages and skill levels from any location, and we look forward to hearing your performance!
