Eight semesters of applied lessons

All undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Music degree program will be assigned to a faculty studio for their applied lessons.

Each year, through the junior year, students will be expected to pass a jury performed before a faculty panel; piano majors are expected to perform an additional jury in their senior year. If, for some extenuating circumstances, such as health or injury issues, a student cannot take their jury as scheduled, they will be assigned a grade of ?incomplete? for that semester?s lessons and will be expected to fulfill the jury requirement in the following semester.

Large ensemble experience

All undergraduate students are required to complete from two to eight semesters in large ensembles, such as orchestra, wind ensemble, or chorus, as required by the major.

Keyboard proficiency

All undergraduates are expected to develop functional keyboard skills. This proficiency requirement can either be demonstrated through examination or through successful completion of piano class, as required by the major.
