Music Pedagogy
The ability to play an instrument is a gift to be shared. Through graduate-level study in music pedagogy, you will enhance your performance skills, increase your knowledge of instrument repertoire and gain an understanding of appropriate pedagogies. You will also apply these skills through supervised teaching of a wide range of students.

I decided to continue my doctoral study in piano pedagogy after finishing my master's degree at the University of South Carolina not only because UofSC has one of the best piano pedagogy programs in the country but also because I genuinely appreciate the supportive and enthusiastic faculty and friendly colleagues.
