About

Keyboard Ensemble is designed for music majors whose primary instrument is piano. In both practice and performance, the ensemble focuses on solo literature, piano duets, and collaborative piano genres, along with keyboard history, literature, and performance critique.

The ensemble presents one recital at the end of each semester, with every student performing an ensemble piece.

Questions: Irwin Shung, lecturer, staff accompanist

Auditions

  • Concurrent enrollment in applied music lessons (MUAP) in piano is highly recommended.
  • Non-majors who are pianists, and music majors whose primary instrument is not piano, may enroll with instructor permission after a successful audition.
  • Auditions are held during the first week of the semester in the class meeting time.
  • Pianists interested in chamber ensembles should follow the audition information on the String/Piano Chamber Music Ensemble page.

Registration

Enrollment permissions are granted in the Student Information System (SIS) after a successful audition or during the first week of class. Once permissions are granted (before the Drop/Add Period ends), students should register for the appropriate MUEN course in SIS.

The Drop/Add Period ends on the 2nd Friday of each semester.
