About the course
This course is dedicated to the study and performance of piano
ensemble literature. Each student will be given the opportunity to
acquire ensemble experience in piano and to improve sight reading
ability. Students work in pairs and perform works from the vast array
of music
written originally for two pianists at either one piano (duet) or two
pianos (duo). Each pair meets with the instructor for regular
coaching sessions
throughout the semester. These same groups also participate in two
piano ensemble performance classes, and some groups will have the
opportunity to perform at various recitals. Subsequent enrollment will
provide the student an opportunity to gain additional skills and
competency within the subject matter.
