Piano
The Preparatory offers several different ways of studying the piano, including Suzuki-based, jazz and traditional piano programs. It is mandatory that students have a piano in their home on which to practice. Electronic keyboards are not considered a good substitute for an acoustic piano.
As students progress in their studies, the Preparatory recommends that the student and/or parent discuss with their instructor the possibilities of taking Chamber Music. Students in the Certificate Program must also study Theory. The Piano Department recommends that all students study Theory.
