Prerequisites: Instructor permission for non-piano majors must be satisfied through live audition of a prepared solo piece which demonstrates sufficient technical ability, musical maturity, and sight-reading skill.

Course will consist mainly of instructor-guided lectures and discussions, and will include relevant readings, listening examples, and performance projects.  Students will be assigned academic readings as well as specific pieces of literature to study, and class time will be spent discussing musical, stylistic, technical, instrumental, and compositional trends in the music. Recordings of assigned pieces will be played and discussed in class.  Material will be selected by instructor to cover the main stylistic periods and central composers/important works but also will introduce students to underrepresented composers and repertoire.
