Overview

Compelling music-making requires broad stylistic knowledge, musical depth and advanced technical skills. Students of the Music Performance - Piano program of Stetson University achieve all of the above through weekly, focused one-on-one sessions with primary teachers in addition to regular group studio sessions. You will learn effective practicing methods, use these to develop increased strength, speed and finesse, and apply your new abilities to your creative goals.

Stetson pianist students will master diverse repertoire from the seventeenth century to the twenty-first while developing a thoughtful process for interpreting new works. You will gain technical facility that will allow you to explore an ever broader and more nuanced palate of piano sounds and expression. Our faculty will design an individually tailored study program to help you launch every aspect of your pianism and musicianship to the next level.

Key Facts

The demand for talent is always high, and students graduating with a Bachelor of Music degree, whether in composition, performance or theory, will discover career paths aligned to their specific talents and capabilities. Some students go on to more in-depth study in graduate programs, and some find their calling by bringing music to their communities and schools.

The Career Insight tool is built on a national database of job openings, postings and requirements, but for many students in Stetson's School of Music, career connections are made during their course of study and through their practice and performance, and with the guidance of their faculty and colleagues. Approximately one-third of positions related to performing arts and teaching ask for a Bachelor's degree, and nearly half of all openings are for candidates with one to two years of experience — a good indication there is demand for music graduates.
