KEYBD 580J Piano Performance Doctoral/Artist Level (4)KEYBD 580J consists of one-hour weekly lessons, like other private applied music lessons in the School of Music. The repertoire to be performed and the standards of preparation will be at the highest level, for pianist-students in the degree Doctor of Musical Arts, who will have already completed a Master of Music in Performance. This standard, which will be enforced via a jury examination at the end of the semester, will require large amounts of independent practice, and therefore will be valued at four credits per semester. Four semesters minimum (16 credits) will be required.
