Music Majors

Music majors are required to enroll in four semesters of applied music and to meet repertoire and performance requirements.  Students are required to attend a one-hour weekly lesson and any assigned master classes.  They will perform on at least one recital per semester and at a jury which serves as the final examination.  Students will participate in the Performance/Lecture Seminar and will fulfill the recital attendance requirement of a specified number concerts and/or recitals per semester.

The general course content is applicable to individual instruction in all applied areas.(The specific requirements of each applied area will be determined by the instructor.)

Applied Music for Non-Majors

Applied lessons may be taken for elective credit.  These students will be required to meet the same lesson attendance and jury requirements as majors but will perform on recitals only at the instructor's discretion.  All fore-mentioned objectives apply to elective credit study; however, instructors will have greater flexibility in the choice and amount of repertoire required, dependent upon the student's level of ability.  Beginners need to enroll in MUSI classes for piano, voice and guitar. (MUSI 1181, MUSI 1182, MUSI 1183, MUSI 1184, MUSI 1192, MUSI 1193.)
