Performance Studies
Program Overview
Performance studies are generally on an individual basis, although some group lessons are available. Consult with the Music Department office to ensure that you enroll in the correct course number. Twelve lessons are scheduled each semester.
Music Major and Minor lessons are 50 minutes in length. Major lessons are available only by audition. Please see the Degree Requirements for more information
Elective Level Performance studies (1xx) are available for all students. No audition is required for elective studies. These courses are designed for non-majors who are interested in beginning or continuing study on an instrument, voice, composition, or digital music. Students wishing to study piano, guitar, or voice having little or no previous study on the instrument, are encouraged to register for group lessons. 30-minute or 50-minute lessons are available.
The Fine Arts requirement may be fulfilled by four semesters of participation in one of the following areas of 50-minute performance studies: MUSP 110, 121, 122, 128, 131, 135, 152, 153, 159, 160, 161, 162, 165, 168, 187, 188.
