(Applied Area: Piano)

The degree Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts with a Concentration in Music and Emphasis in Piano Pedagogy offers students with strong performance skills the opportunity to apply those skills to teaching applied piano in individual and group settings. Elective Education and Business courses supplement a core music curriculum that fosters growth in areas of performance, music theory, music literature, and music education. Students who complete this degree program will be well equipped to perform in varied settings; establish independent teaching studios; teach piano in community music and preparatory schools; and pursue graduate studies in piano pedagogy or performance. One half-recital is required as a component of MUSC 483 .
