Special Requirements:

 

1.

Admission to this program requires a personal interview and audition with the department.

2.

Participation each term in performing ensembles and student recitals is required and is considered to be an important extension of the applied (private) lesson.

3.

Each student's proficiency at keyboard performance must be judged as satisfactory prior to graduation. The juried keyboard examination must be performed by each student by the completion of the junior year.

4.

Attendance at department-approved concerts and events is expected each term (refer to MUSI001-007).

5.

Presentation of a final, public, juried recital must be satisfactorily accomplished prior to graduation.

6.

Ensemble performance is included with applied music credit as a requirement, so that each Music major will enroll in applied music and at least one ensemble each term.  An exception to this policy is that students who declare their intent to enter the B.S. in Music Education cooperative program will receive a maximum of four separate credits (one each semester) in ensemble performance, to be counted toward their requirements at the cooperating university.
