Faculty Teaching Studios: Steven Hall, Annie Lin
Studio 1 has two vintage Steinway Model A pianos for lessons and rehearsals. Studio 2 has a 7-foot Ibach semi-concert grand. Each studio has its own excellent sound systems along with audio and video recording options, in addition to computers with high-speed internet for online internet teaching (via Skype or Facetime) and research.
Performance Space:
The 22 x 16 foot performance space houses two beautifully-restored Steinway Concert & Artist 9-foot concert grand pianos from 1922 and 1924. They are kept in peak condition for performance classes when preparing for upcoming recitals and competitions. The pianos are also used for our professional in-house recording studio to produce high-quality CD and DVD recordings. (For information regarding recording projects, please visit www.BPCRecording.com.)
CD/DVD Library:
Our CD/DVD library is very extensive, and houses the majority of the piano solo and concerto repertoire by various artists, in addition to chamber music works, orchestral works and opera and art songs. Conservatory students have complete access to our Listening Library, Music Library and Reference Materials.
Music Library:
Our complete music collection houses a variety of editions of all the standard piano solo and concerto repertoire, as well as chamber music scores. In this way, we can be sure our students' performances are prepared with the highest degree of scholarship and integrity of interpretation when they compete in competitions or perform in recitals.
Reference Materials:
Our reference books will satisfy a student's interest to whatever degree they wish to pursue. Included in the reference library is a complete set of Grove's Dictionary for Music and Musicians (the last printed edition), music and language dictionaries in French, Italian, and German, a full complement of music history books ranging from the Medieval to the Contemporary periods, a number of major theory books and exercises, as well as books regarding piano pedagogy and art history. Also in our collection are many of The Teaching Company's Music Education Series.
