Private instruction is available on all band and orchestral instruments, piano, organ, guitar, and voice for all University students, whether they are music majors or minors or not, for an additional fee. The lesson fee is waived for music majors up to the number of credits required for their course of study, provided the major is declared no later than the add/drop date of the term in which the student is registered for lessons; a maximum of 1 credit may be waived per term; waivers are only given for the student’s primary instrument. The X71/X72 sequence of courses is proficiency-based using nationally accepted criteria for advancement through the sequence of levels. Exact course requirements will be indicated on course syllabi and determined by the instructor to best serve the student’s individual needs and experience. Music majors and minors taking private instruction are required to participate in the appropriate large ensemble for their primary instrument; and individual daily practice is required. Lessons are letter graded. Applied Music jury exams are required of all Applied Music students at the end of each semester, except MUS 171. Music majors and minors enrolled in Applied Music courses 271 and higher are required to perform in a Student Performance forum (student recital) each semester. Full-hour weekly lessons, earning one credit per semester, are the norm for music majors; half-hour lessons, earning one-half credit, are the norm for music minors. Course credit for full-hour or half-hour lessons is based on twelve lessons per semester.
