I have once again not added links to these schools, given that the web documentation for these programs ranges from excellent to unloadable. As a believer in due diligence, especially regarding one's education, I would rather have this list as a starting point for the further exploration of programs. A full list of things to consider when choosing a program will include:
- Finding the right teacher
- Finding a good school
- Educational philosophy
- Curriculum
- Financial aid
- Track record of graduates
Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's NL offers an M.Mus in Piano Performance and Pedagogy.
ReplyDeleteThey do indeed. Memorial has been added--thanks.
ReplyDeleteWeber State in Ogden, Utah as well as The University of Miami. It would be interesting to see what programs these universities offer such as Bachelors, Masters, and or DMA.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brandon. The U of Miami and Weber State have been added. Miami was already on the collaborative piano degree program list.
ReplyDeletethanks for this list! very helpful. i believe Univ. Tenn-Knoxville also has as graduate pedagogy program.
ReplyDeleteThe University of Iowa offers both MA and DMA in Piano Performance and Pedagogy
ReplyDeleteNever mind... I'm blind... sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteThe University of Miami has cancelled their dual Piano Performance and Pedagogy. You now can only get a degree in performance or pedagogy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Brandon.
ReplyDeleteAre there any doctoral piano pedagogy degree programs that do not require the GRE exam as an emphasis for admittance?
ReplyDeleteThat depends from school to school. I was lucky enough to go to Eastman, which didn't require the GRE when I applied in the late 80's. Check the application requirements for each school to determine if you will or won't need to take the exam.

ReplyDeleteThe program at Michigan State is supposed to be spectacular. They've got top-notch applied teachers to study with, plus Derek Polischuk, who runs the program, is supposed to be awesome. Seems like their grads are in pretty good places...
ReplyDeleteValley City State University has
ReplyDeletean online Piano Pedagogy Class. It
is very good. It is for 2 semesters--3 credits each. The
class is taught by Beth Gegante
Klingenstein. She is a well-known
writer for many music magazines and
has authored some books. Valley
City is in North Dakota. Valley
is going to offer a music degree
online. My daughter has taken the
classes. The classes are not a
pushover, so do not take them if
you just what the credits. Be
expected to work. The teachers
put a lot of work into the classes
and they are better than being there!
Great info! Thank you for sharing, sounds like the kind of program that would adapt to my needs at this point!
Deletehi, great list! to add, University of Texas at San Antonio has a Graduate Certificate in Keyboard Pedagogy, and Texas Christian University has the joint DMA performance/pedagogy. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnother to add: Central Michigan University (in Michigan) offers a Masters degree in Piano Pedagogy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I've been looking for something just like this everywhere! Another to add to the list is Utah State University. I've heard the department is really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mille - the post has been updated.
ReplyDeleteThe Master's College has a BM in Performance with an emphasis in Piano Pedagogy
ReplyDeleteCedarville University has a BM in Keyboard Pedagogy
University of North Florida offers a new bachelor's degree in Piano Pedagogy.

ReplyDeleteAre any of these schools in the silicon valley? Or close to? Thanks, Iliana
ReplyDeleteBowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio offers a BM in Music Performance focused in Keyboard Pedagogy, as well as a MM in Performance, also focused in Piano Pedagogy.

ReplyDeleteWe do offer MM in Piano Pedagogy
Thanks
Jonathan Arevalo Coo, Eastman alum '98 '99
Is there an online piano pedagogy program?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of.
DeleteI would love to see a ranked list, or even just a short list of schools that are highly regarded. I'm having trouble trying to determine where to go, especially as a Canadian considering graduate programs in the USA.
ReplyDeleteHere's a list of the top music schools in the US:
Deletehttp://www.uscollegeranking.org/music/top-music-schools-ranking-in-2010.html
If someone were to offer me a tidy sum and full travel expenses, I would be glad to put together a project that ranks Piano Pedagogy and Collaborative Piano programs from top to bottom. But given the massive amount of work putting together and implementing such a project without bias, it's not going to happen any time soon.
Saint Cloud State University has canceled their masters/doctorate programs in music.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Denver University has a graduate piano pedagogy program.
Thanks for the list! Cedarville University in Ohio has an undergraduate piano pedagogy program.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melody! I'll add it to the list.
DeleteThe University of Tennessee, Knoxville has not only an excellent piano pedagogy (bachelor's and master's) program, but they are very generous with assistantships.
ReplyDeleteDoes University of Texas at San Antonio has piano pedagogy program? I couldn't find it on their website. University of Texas- Tyler, Stephen F. Austin, and Tarleton State have the program too.
ReplyDeleteDoes University of Texas at San Antonio has it? I could not find it online. But Tarleton State University, University of Texas at Tyler, and Stephen F. Austin have it too.
ReplyDeleteShorter University (Rome, GA) has an outstanding undergraduate Piano Pedagogy program which you can double with Piano Performance if desired.
ReplyDeleteI realize this post is nearly 10 years old, but I'm finding it extremely helpful in my search for programs. The University of Louisville also has a great ped program.
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Idaho has it, too. It's small and not so rich school but there is a pedagogy program with TA.
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Minnesota Duluth has both a Collaborative Piano and Piano Performance track.
ReplyDeleteI think University of North Carolina in Greensboro has a program in Piano Pedagogy
ReplyDeleteHolly, I checked the UNC Greensboro website but there doesn't seem to be a mention of any Piano Pedagogy program there as of yet.
DeleteDid you add University of Greensboro to your list? I think they have a piano pedagogy program the undergraduate level
ReplyDeleteUpdate/correction on the current status of University of Miami: a newly revised dual degree (performance and pedagogy) have been available there for MM, DMA, (and for Cognate) since 2011. Also, GRE is no longer required for these degrees at the University of Miami.
