Master of Music in Piano

The goals of the Piano program are to prepare the student for the many facets of a diverse performance career (soloist, collaborative pianist and chamber musician) and to provide the student with the musical skills and pedagogical background to become a productive teacher. Our world-renowned piano faculty, comprised of distinguished pedagogues and some of today's most preeminent concert artists, offers the highest quality of teaching. Guest artist master classes, workshops, performance festivals and school-sponsored competitions provide extra opportunities for our students to immerse themselves in. Our strong and varied body of international piano students is further served by our unique English language program, which allows non-native English speakers to study English and piano intensively, to prepare them for entrance into the full BM or MM curriculum. Students learn how music works in conjunction with art and literature, become acquainted with historical performance practice, develop a hunger to discover excellent contemporary music and, most importantly, develop their own individual artistry and musical vision.
