      钢琴系拥有世界一流的设施和丰富经验的教师,在这个既开放又具有挑战的环境中,RWCMD的键盘系仍然赢得了很多学生、音乐家和教师的信任。学院采取合作而不是竞争的方式,我们提供一个富有创造性和挑战性的环境,在这个环境中,学生可以开始发展他们自己的多样化和令人兴奋的职业道路,同时献身于钢琴事业。
 

      RWCMD是英国第一所全斯坦威音乐学院,在德国汉堡精心挑选的62架斯坦威钢琴,对学院的各方面都产生了极有利的影响,除了全斯坦威钢琴之外,学院还有一个非常棒的音乐厅-Dora Stoutzker Hall,这是威尔士第一个专门建造的室内乐演奏厅,也是英国最好的音乐厅之一。

 

      我们的钢琴学生得益于优秀的师生比例和出色的个人关注,采取小班化教学模式,所有学生都有很多机会去表演并最后得到教师反馈。键盘系策划了各种各样的独奏会和合作演出,大多数都安排在Dora Stoutzker Hall或者卡迪夫的其他优秀音乐厅,亦或者是英国其他著名音乐厅。与学院戏剧系的导师合作,既能培养学生们对展示自我的信心又能锻炼他们与其他部分协作能力。参与世界上著名钢琴家举办的大师班,则为学生们提供了更多的灵感。

 

所有的键盘系学生每周都有一对一专业课程,定期参加workshop、音乐会、研讨会、合奏训练和技巧练习。
