Northwestern's piano program equips emerging artists with the skills needed for diverse careers in today's musical landscape.
At the heart of piano education are personalized private lessons that inspire students to discover the vast range of piano repertoire. Numerous performance avenues exist, from studio classes and weekly recitals to concerto competitions and off-campus engagements. Chicago-area contests also provide performance platforms and monetary awards.
Our distinguished piano faculty consists of accomplished performers and educators with varied professional backgrounds. Their holistic teaching philosophy fosters students' artistic individuality and musical principles. With typically fewer than 50 students across all degree levels, our intimate program nurtures a supportive yet ambitious learning environment.
