London
EPTA Europe is the umbrella organisation for all the European EPTA
organisations. Founded by Carola Grindea in 1978 in London it has today grown
along with the expansion of the European borders. EPTA - European Piano
Teachers’ Association - unites Pianists and Piano teachers all over the world
through its many EPTA Associations which all have regular activities . Every
association organizes its own congresses, workshops, seminars, recitals,
masterclasses and is committed to present Young Artists Platforms, Competitions
and European Young Artists Festivals. An Annual Conference of all EPTA
Associations is held every year in a different country under the presidency of
the host Association. There is an EPTA in almost every European country and
there are several outside Europe - these are EPTA Associates which include the
USA and South America, Canada, India, China, Hong Kong , Israel, and
Australasia. Every Association sends out information to the central EPTA News
which gives current, detailed information of piano-related activities throughout
the world. This can always be found on the website and in the Piano Journal- the
first ever Journal to be based solely on the piano -which is published three
times a year by EPTA. Its first issue was published in 1980.
