Best piano faculty?
What colleges have the best piano faculty (specifically instructors for the graduate level)?
SabethaShould I major in music therapy with a piano performance minor, or major in music therapy and then get a masters in piano performance from a more prestigious school?
My future career goal is to primarily be a music therapist and private music instructor, but I would also like to be a professional concert pianist, perhaps touring every summer or every other summer with a few gigs throughout the year. Technically, the only degree I need is a music therapy degree, but would a minor be necessary? Or possibly I could just major in music therapy and then maybe get a piano performance masters if I decide afterwards that I need one? Also then what college should I go to? I have met with a professional opera singer from the Met, and he emphasized connections in college and how important it is to have a recognized teacher, but I am having trouble deciding.

Is it feasible to do a degree in Law and a higher degree in piano performance?
I am an IB student and I would like to study Law at university. I also study piano at the conservatory and I would like to dedicate myself to it, so I do the Higher Degree in Interpretation. Is it possible to do both?

As a pianist, how much practice time should I put in on pieces for other people vs. My own lesson rep?
I'm a music education freshman and have picked up some accompanying jobs. I'm just wondering, in general, how much time should be spent on those pieces? #music #music-education #piano #pianist

What are some good ways to get involved in STEM related volunteering?
I really teaching kids about technology and how things worked. I give a lot of credit to my mentors growing who showed me the ways of model rocketry and soldering. Are there some well known STEM volunteer groups out there? Do you think it would be alright to just volunteer on the weekends due to classes? #computer-science #economics #electrical-engineering #piano #sae

What types of job opportunities are available for a concert pianist?
I am currently a rising high school senior, and I am looking into possibly minoring in piano, or maybe even majoring. I deeply love playing the piano - it is my passion to play it for the rest of my life. I am very worried, however, that I will not be able to find a job if I were to pursue my dreams in becoming a concert pianist. I therefore have a plan to pursue a career in accounting, but I am still wondering if it would be at all possible for me to still play the piano as a career (even part-time), and would it be possible for me to have a said career without even getting a degree in piano. #music #music-composing #composer #piano #classical-music

How do you train to become a professional pianist, like the kind that play at weddings?
Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. It's always been my mother's dream for me to be the one playing Canon in D during a wedding. It made me wonder what the process is to becoming a wedding musician. Do you need to have any kind of certificate or schooling? #music #piano
