About the course

Candidates for the Master of Music in Keyboard Performance (M.M.) at the Frost School of Music must possess excellent pianistic skills, musicality, and artistic curiosity. Invited candidates are strongly advised to audition in person in order to receive the best consideration for Teaching Assistantship awards. Following the live audition, every MM candidate must attend an interview with members of the performance faculty.

　　The curriculum encompasses many of the important components necessary for a career in the music profession, whether in performance, academia, or both. The Frost School of Music prides itself on being an institution that honors the traditional values of learning while incorporating the necessary curricular requirements that present-day performers and teachers must have, and that will prepare students for further study at the doctoral level. The faculty of the Keyboard Performance department is composed of world-class artists/teachers who are dedicated to the principle that the individuality and talent of every student must be recognized, respected, and nurtured, for these qualities form the essence of successful careers in music.

　　The MM degree requires one solo recital by the end of the two-year curriculum. A performance Forum is held every week where students who are ready to present new repertoire are given the opportunity to do so in front of the faculty and their classmates. Students may also have the opportunity to perform with two of our renowned ensembles: the Frost Symphony Orchestra and the Frost Wind Ensemble. Both ensembles have featured piano students in concerto performances conducted by members of our illustrious faculty as well as by guest artists such as Leon Fleisher. The opportunity to collaborate with other talented instrumentalists and vocalists at the Frost School is also readily available and encouraged. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
