The goal of the Jacobs Collaborative Piano Department, codirected by Anne Epperson and Kevin Murphy, is to coordinate the activities of our majors with the needs of the various departments within the rest of the school.

This dynamic fosters a positive atmosphere in all types of partnerships and reinforces the service aspect of our profession. At the Jacobs School of Music, students acquire one of the country’s premier experiences in all aspects of a collaborative education.

Unique to the program at Jacobs is the opportunity to choose an area of specialization: Vocal Emphasis, Instrumental Emphasis, or Balanced Track.
