Does the collaborative piano program place equal emphasis on vocal and instrumental repertoire?

Yes.  Students are enrolled in courses on instrumental and vocal repertoire in both years of the program.  Also, the two degree recitals required of collaborative piano students must include piano-instrumental and piano-vocal repertoire.

Are there any assitantships for collaborative pianists?

Are there any additional application materials required for the Collaborative Piano Program?

Yes.  Students are asked to submit with their application:

1.  a repertoire list containing all vocal and instrumental works studied and performed
