This postgraduate diploma trains pianists specializing in piano accompaniment at the Faculty of Music. The 30-credit programme runs full-time or part-time with daytime courses at the Montreal campus, and full-time completion takes a minimum of two trimesters up to a maximum of three. Admission is subordinated to the assignment of a supervising instructor from the accompaniment faculty, so applicants must be accepted by a specific teacher before enrolling. Coursework builds specialized skills in collaborative and accompaniment piano playing, working alongside vocal and instrumental performers, under close studio supervision. The programme prepares graduates for professional careers as collaborative pianists and accompanists in performance, teaching, and studio settings, and can lead into further graduate study in music performance.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and be accepted by a supervising instructor, since admission is subordinated to the assignment of a responsible teacher in piano accompaniment.
