Piano Department

The Piano Program at the Music Department of Columbia College Chicago challenges young, talented pianists to perform at their highest level, in all styles and settings. From classical to jazz to popular, our dynamic four-year program combines private instruction, ensemble instruction, and repertoire classes taught by expert faculty.

The curriculum is highlighted by frequent master classes and clinics presented by nationally and internationally recognized artists. Students have access to superb instruments and professionally produced videos of their on-campus performances, as well as opportunities to perform for high-profile and off-campus events.
