Piano/Keyboard Workshop

You should have two or three years of piano training prior to attending the program. Basic knowledge of triads, seventh chords, and note identification in treble and bass clefs is required. The curriculum is geared toward low-intermediate level to advanced-level performance.

After checking in, you will complete a brief assessment to determine your appropriate class level, which is based on individual abilities. You should prepare a short piece of music no more than two minutes long in the style you wish to study. This performance will help the audition team measure your ability. Students with knowledge of music theory will be asked to demonstrate skills in this area. Schedules will be handed out on the first day of the program.

All necessary musical equipment will be provided throughout the program.

Though not required, you are permitted to bring laptops, computers, tablets, etc. Wireless internet and electrical outlet plugs are provided throughout the campus. Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to keep your items safe. Berklee is not responsible for the loss of these items.

Jam Sessions: This will be an informal way for students to perform with an ensemble in a loose setting. Up to three keyboard players could jam at a time. Rooms will have piano, digital piano, or synthesizers.

Please note: the following schedule and course descriptions are only a sample and are subject to change. You will receive personalized schedules on the first day of the program.
