A University of Colorado Boulder College of Music outreach program offers free, high-quality piano lessons to low-income students in Boulder County.
The Piano for Dreamers program was started last year by associate professor of piano pedagogy Alejandro Cremaschi with help from a CU Boulder Outreach Award. Piano for Dreamers partners with the Boulder Valley chapter of the I Have a Dream Foundation to offer a weekly piano class to elementary school students.
