South鈥檚 All-Steinway Initiative

Scroll through to enjoy these video messages from students, alumni and faculty.

The 天美影视传媒 seeks to become an 鈥淎ll-Steinway School,鈥� meaning that students receive instruction exclusively on Steinway pianos. South is committed to excellence in music education and strives to join more than 200 institutions of distinction across the globe that display the All-Steinway School symbol. To receive this designation, 90% of South鈥檚 acoustic pianos must be Steinway & Sons, Boston or Essex pianos, and the University must have an approved maintenance program in place.

Four Key Advantages to an All-Steinway Designation
