Students are required to complete technical exercises and etudes, including selected works by Hanon and Czerny, and to prepare repertoire appropriate to their level that presents increasing technical and musical demands. Required repertoire includes literature representing Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th–21st century styles, with study drawn from standard piano literature. As appropriate, repertoire may include solo piano works, piano ensemble literature, concerto repertoire, and collaborative works.
