Piano department

Future careers

The program prepares students for various careers and helps them develop a personal musical and artistic approach that considers the current developments in the artistic fields.

The training can lead to a wide variety of careers in which the piano (and, by extension, keyboard instruments) play a role:

• careers in arrangement or composition
• accompanist, vocal teacher
• chamber musician
• general music education

Particular emphasis is placed on the demands of ensemble music (sonata and chamber music) and on accompaniment practices, which are essential elements for professional integration.
