PIANO SLAM is a poetry on music competition for teenagers that integrates their love for music with academics. The program gives teenagers hope for academic improvement, self-confidence, and connection to community through live performances and arts-integrated education in English language (STEAM) and social studies during the school day. The finals, held on the stage of the Arsht Center, showcase teenagers’ love for music and winning poetry.
