Piano is required by all music programs at Universities and Conservatories no matter which instrument the student specializes in. It is considered the foundational instrument on which musicianship is learned. Every program has a “Piano Proficiency”. Students who learn music through the study of piano go on to master other instruments with greater skill and ease.
