The Music Performance Piano emphasis is designed for students dedicated to achieving excellence in their piano performance. At UNK, an experienced faculty will help you develop a high level of skill and hone your artistic voice through the practical application of music theory and piano techniques, private instruction, and recital opportunities.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Music in Performance. Because of the nature of this professional objective, students entering this program must demonstrate outstanding musical ability in piano.
Throughout your time at UNK, you will have the opportunity to study piano performance with outstanding musicians, appear frequently in both group student recitals as well as full-length junior and senior recitals, and broaden your understanding through a strong liberal arts curriculum. Graduates leave the program equipped for master's level study or for entry into many performance or teaching positions. The piano performance degree is also offered with a Piano Pedagogy emphasis which is designed to prepare the student for national certification as a private teacher.
