The Advanced Certificate in Piano Performance and Pedagogy is designed for mature artists seeking to advance their careers. Students take private lessons with artist faculty, elective courses in performance practice and music education, and a two-semester course designed specifically for the certificate program and culminating in a public recital, called The Art of the Piano: Pedagogy and Practice. Students may participate in solo and collaborative performance, ranging from recitals and chamber music to performances with the NYU orchestras and gain skills necessary to pursue careers in academia or the concert hall. Students may also pursue a dual-degree option that combines the MM in Piano Performance and the Advanced Certificate in Piano Performance and Pedagogy.
