Students have the opportunity to study under the direction of an outstanding keyboard faculty.
The goal of the curriculum is to prepare the student musically, technically and intellectually for the demands of a career or for entrance into a doctoral program in music. Students in the program are encouraged to pursue appropriate related keyboard work in addition to their major concentration. A pianist, for example, could also study fortepiano, harpsichord or organ. Performance opportunities are plentiful, encompassing the entire range of solo, chamber and concerto repertoire. Washington University students in these programs are expected be both accomplished musicians and academically well-motivated, as the program is rigorous in both areas.
