The Piano Extension Program (PEP) has been providing piano lessons and music education to area students of all ages and levels at an attractive rate since 1996. Founded by the late Arlene Kies, piano lessons at the PEP are taught by a qualified roster of teachers comprised of students and recent graduates of the UNH Music Department. Every semester, students enrolled in the PEP may choose to play in one of the public Performance Classes led by Dr. Handelsman, and perform in the end-of-semester Recitals.
