<h1>Piano at U.H. Manoa</h1>
<!-- ######## Here is the main page content######## -->
<p>It is an exciting time in the piano department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa; with two
new faculty at the helm, piano at U.H. has been invigorated and is headed in new directions. The
Music Department offers the B.M., B.A., and M.M. degrees in piano. Studying piano at the
undergraduate level can open the door to various studies at the graduate level and to a number of
careers in music, the music business, and other fields. The Music Department offers pianists a
solid preparation for professional performing as soloists and collaborators, and for private
teaching and/or college-level teaching. Piano students can also opt for the broad liberal arts
degree, or for programs that prepare for teaching music in elementary and secondary schools.
Students have the opportunity to perform in weekly studio classes in Orvis Auditorium and in
area recitals that occur 3-4 times per semester.</p>

</p>
<p>Active performers can also compete to play a concerto with the University Symphony
Orchestra. Piano students in pedagogy classes have opportunities to connect with local teachers
in Honolulu's active piano-teaching scene and are encouraged to become members of the Hawaii
Music Teachers Association to participate in their annual convention. In addition to piano
studies, the music programs at U.H. provide a solid background in music theory, history, and
other music subjects of interest to the student. Notable are the opportunities to participate in a
variety of ethnic ensembles. The non-piano and collaborative piano classes bring pianists
together with singers, string players, wind and brass players, and percussionists.</p>
