What does Collaborative Piano stand for?

Today there is an important demand to develop a more versatile approach in educating musicians for multiple career choices. The Collaborative Piano in-depth field in our Master's Programme in Classical Performance brings new skills, a new approach and awareness and very specific training courses to our piano students.

Watch the highlights from our 2024 Chamber Music Project with Arnold Schönberg's Pierrot Lunaire and the piano trio version of Verklärte Nacht.

The voice and piano students at UiA's Department of Classical Music & Music Education worked on Schubert's celebrated song cycle Winterreise in a special weekend workshop.
