Piano

The Curtis piano department integrates new students into the full musical life of the school from the moment they arrive.

Working with distinguished artist-faculty members, pianists study solo repertoire and concertos, as well as chamber music.

Curtis aims to educate and train musicians for 21st-century careers as performers on the highest professional level, through a unique “learn by doing” approach. Students can expect to perform often on the Student Recital Series and in other school-sponsored recitals from the beginning of their Curtis careers.
