The facilities include a fully equipped 10-unit electronic lab with instructional visualizer and computer usage with midi-keyboard. Students majoring in music have the opportunity to take piano proficiency skill preparation. Pianists interested in teaching may enroll in Piano Pedagogy and are offered experience in teaching beginning classes to children. The more advanced pianists may wish to enroll in Applied Piano for private instruction. Accompanists will benefit from Keyboard Accompaniment class. Organ keyboard instruction is also given with emphasis on recreational skills as well as worship service playing.
