MM Music Performance Piano
Few schools can match the quality of CCM’s piano department. An all-Steinway institution, CCM offers advanced piano students access to more than 170 pianos (one of the world’s largest collections of new Steinways), a prestigious faculty of artist-teachers and opportunities to learn from and perform with esteemed musicians in world-class facilities.
MM Piano students hone their performance abilities through weekly private lessons with faculty mentors, chamber ensemble participation and recitals. Academics are emphasized through music theory and musicology coursework and multiple electives. Our faculty of eminent artist-teachers offer students one-on-one attention and performance opportunities abound with local organizations including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera and the Cincinnati Ballet.
Graduates of the program can become performers, teachers, composers, orchestrators and directors of competitions. Our graduates have won awards in prestigious competitions including the Naumburg, the National Chopin and the William Kapell. Some students elect to continue on to additional advanced study.
CCM is a college within the University of Cincinnati, a major undergraduate university and graduate research institution of more than 40,000 students. The synergy created by housing CCM within a comprehensive public university gives the college its unique character and defines its objective: to educate and inspire the whole artist and scholar for positions on the world's stage.
