Department of Keyboard Instruction

The Department of Keyboard Instruction offers a variety of programs of study to meet the individual needs of potential solo artists, chamber musicians, accompanists, and teachers, and also provides a keyboard concentration for those majoring in music education, music therapy, music history, music theory, composition, and jazz studies.  Weekly private lessons are reinforced by regular performance classes, and a series of master classes taught by faculty members and guests artists focuses on special topics essential to the keyboard performer.   Recent guest artists have included: Chang Biao Liu, Gaby Casadesus, Dorothy Taubman, Adam Wibroski, and Emeritus Professor Marian Filar.

Graduate assistantships are available for teaching secondary piano to undergraduates and for teaching in the Community Music Program.
