  • MUSC 150 Piano 1 credits

    Weekly half-hour lessons, with repertoire selected as appropriate for the individual student’s experience. Works from a variety of style periods may be studied, with attention to both musical and technical development. Open to students with no previous musical experience.

    Lesson Fees are Applied: See Music Department website for lesson fee information.

    Piano lessons are taught by multiple instructors. The 00 section is for students who are new to piano study at Carleton, and who have not had a previous Carleton piano instructor; you will have an instructor assigned to you after registration. Students may enroll for lessons in multiple terms, and in most cases remain with the same instructor from term to term; students who are continuing their piano study should thus select the appropriate section to remain with their instructor. Continuing students will not be able to register for section 00.

    If you are changing aspects of your lesson (shifting from half-hour to hour lessons, or from MUSL 150 to MUSL 250), you should consult with your instructor ahead of registration. Students who wish to change instructors should consult with their current instructor or with the music department chair.
