Have you ever wondered how Colburn keeps our nearly 200 pianos in tip-top shape? The majority of the School’s pianos are used heavily during the 8–9 month academic year. As our students have access to pianos for rehearsal 24/7, some instruments are in use more than 10 hours per day, requiring a minimum of weekly tuning and maintenance, as well as constant mechanical adjustments. Taking care of such complex instruments is an important job that requires specialized knowledge, like that of Neema Parzagad, our Director of Piano Technology. Comment with questions we’ll bring to our next visit to the Piano Workshop!

We’re surrounded by the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, The Music Center, and Grand Performances at California Plaza.

Our goal is to accommodate students in developing a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts whenever possible without the constraints of financial concerns. We award $500,000 need-based scholarships to the Colburn Community School of Performing Arts every year.
