  • Piano students have the opportunity to perform as soloists in solo recitals, group recitals, the St. Olaf Piano Forums, and studio classes.<\/li>\n

  • The large ensembles (orchestras, bands, choirs) frequently perform repertoire on campus or on tours, which requires a pianist.<\/li>\n
  • The large ensembles frequently feature student soloists on concert programs, tour programs and in the St. Olaf Orchestra\u2019s annual Senior Soloists concert in May.<\/li>\n
  • St. Olaf also offers course in collaborative piano, and piano literature and pedagogy, which focus on methods of teaching and include opportunities to teach.\u00a0Both classical and jazz piano are offered. Instruction in piano for music majors and non-music majors is offered in private weekly half-hour or hour lessons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
