TEACHERS:
Inspire. Empower. Create.
Piano Slam utilizes music as a tool and inspiration to give
our youth a voice through artistic expression.
Be the #1 poet in Miami-Dade Schools
Dranoff‘s PIANO SLAM uses live performance and education by top classical artists to develop an individual creative process for teenagers to build up writing skills using their vast connection and experience with music to explore language, structured learning, and personal expression through poetry.
Support music

connections in Miami
teenagers' lives.
