There are many opportunities for pianists to perform as soloists, accompanists, and as members of small and large ensembles. Piano majors have frequent opportunities to participate in master classes with guest world-renowned musicians. Every spring semester, the Starkville/MSU Symphony Orchestra offers the concerto competition, when students perform a movement of a concerto or orchestral work competing for an opportunity to perform as a soloist with the community orchestra the following fall semester. The competition consists of a preliminary and final round, with the final round being held as an evening recital open to the public.
The piano area holds a weekly required studio class for majors and minor in an attempt to provide extra time to discuss, listen and perform different piano repertoire for solo, four/six/eight hands. Besides the weekly studio class, the area provides an end of the semester Piano Studio Recital open to the public, both events factor into the weekly and semester lesson grade. In order to qualify for a semester grade of “A” in an applied lesson, students must perform on W@2 Recital Hour Class at least once each semester. Music majors and minors are exempted from this requirement only during their first semester of applied study at MSU.
