University
Montreal on July 1st weekend is host to the International Jazz Festival, and it's also
the weekend that Tai Chi master Sam Slutsky holds his annual intensive workshop.
Alan Fraser likes to combine these events with a 5-day series of teaching sessions at
his alma mater. Reserve early as there will only be place for a maximum of 5 students.

July 10-25, Prince Edward Island, Canada: Summer Piano & Feldenkrais Sessions -
August 14-22 University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Charlottetown.
Alan Fraser spends his summers at the family homestead just outside of Charlottetown
and uses the opportunity to offer short- or long-term series of lessons. This is a valuable
chance to delve deeper into the philosphy and practice of Craft of Piano Method
and combine it with a holiday in one of North America's most beautiful locations.
Morning sessions will take place in historic St. Paul's Church, a Neo-Gothic structure in wood
with a fine Baldwin Grand and extraordinarily warm acoustics that bring out the best of its sound.
Afternoon sessions at UPEI. Practice space available at UPEI.
