Instrumental Performance

About the Program

Students in the instrumental division receive preparation for a lifetime of music making through private study with specialists on their instrument and classes in chamber music. In addition, the many ensembles within the department provide exposure to music of all historical periods and in a wide variety of styles, ensuring skills needed by professional performers and educators.

Pianists and organists are provided with opportunities to meet and observe professionals in master classes and recitals. They also gain experience in chamber music and in many opportunities to serve as accompanists. A solo recital is required in the senior year, and affords the student an opportunity to demonstrate technique, awareness of style, and musical understanding.

The instrumental faculty is made up of active performers who maintain careers as soloists and fill the ranks of the region's orchestras, often as principal players upon their instrument. Rowan students benefit from study with these academicians who are also professional performers.
