PIANO

To graduate, piano performance majors must complete Piano Level X. They are expected to complete Level IX by the end of their junior year. Requirements for each level appear at the end of the Undergraduate Programs section.

MUS 153, 154, 155, 156, 322, 323, 337, 338, 514, and 435 are offered on a rotational basis, and students may take these courses out of the sequence listed, if necessary. Students are required to take History of Music I, II, and III (MUS 325, 326, 327) in the sequence listed. The required concerto normally will be accompanied by piano. The securing of the accompanist is the responsibility of the soloist.

A partnership has been established between the Levine School of Music and the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music. This partnership consists of the following:

Internships and Observations. Selected undergraduate and/or graduate students who are registered for 529, Internship in Teaching Piano, and who are recommended by both CUA and Levine School of Music faculty may be able to carry out their practice teaching at LSM. Full semester/academic year practice teaching assignments may include music sampler classes or individual lessons for scholarship students. Internship students will be required to do a final project related to the internship course, to be evaluated by a CUA faculty member. Opportunities for CUA students to observe teachers at LSM are possible.

Independent Study. Independent study projects in piano pedagogy for CUA registered students may be designed in collaboration with LSM. Reciprocal projects may be created for registered LSM students.
