I have been a piano player for almost 18 years, and a very good point was raised here about the reason behind the degree.
I have a passion for piano - i love just about everything that goes along with it. However, it is my passion because it is not Work. I enjoy performing, but the most intimate moments are between that piano and myself.. in the dark with no one else around.
I am in Rochester where the Eastman Music school is housed - everything I've seen and heard has been excellent - they have a strong support program for their piano initiative, and work hard to make sure you have excellent pianos to train on.
Your friend needs to get the nitty gritty details in order for us to be of further help.
