Piano Pedagogy

Course Requirements

Graduate student enrolled in the Master of Music Education or Performance degree programs can apply to also complete a Concentration in Piano Pedagogy; this program is similar to adding a minor to your degree. Admission to the Concentration is via interview (and audition for students who are not Master of Music Piano Performance majors) with the program coordinator. For those students required to audition, the audition should consist of 20 minutes of memorized solo piano repertoire from at least two different style periods. Piano teaching experience and completed coursework in piano pedagogy at the undergraduate level are strongly recommended.

Piano Pedagogy concentration candidates will complete the following 9-credit sequence of courses:

MUCE 660  Piano Pedagogy and Practicum I

MUCE 661  Piano Pedagogy and Practicum II

MUCE 663  Project in Piano Pedagogy

Additionally, for students not in the Master of Music Piano Performance degree program, a graduate-level course in performance concentration in piano (MUCS 620 ) is strongly recommended.
