The following is an excerpt from the complete course catalog. Enrolled students follow the requirements of the course catalog for the academic year in which they declare each major and/or minor and consult with their advisor(s).
Minor in Collaborative Piano
This minor aims to captivate students with a keen interest in using their pianistic abilities as a collaborator, whether that is working with singers, instrumentalists, small chamber ensembles or larger ensembles such as choir, band or orchestra. Through this minor, students will garner basic musical skills as well as knowledge of the many topics and skills specific to collaborative piano. Before declaring a minor in collaborative piano, a student must audition and obtain approval from the coordinator of collaborative piano.
