The goal of the UNCSA Summer Piano Intensive is to strategically improve those aspects of piano playing that the student and UNCSA faculty feel could most benefit from additional training. Particular attention will be towards the sound production, technique and convincing interpretation. Students will also have a better idea about where they are in their playing and the future direction their training should take.
The UNCSA performance facilities feature a magnificent collection of Steinway pianos housed in three venues: four Steinway Model D concert grand pianos (three Hamburg and one New York) and a fifth Steinway Model B. There is a separate dedicated practice area for pianists, which features 14 comfortable soundproof rooms with regularly maintained grand pianos. The school also owns three French Double Manual harpsichords, a concert organ and three practice organs.
