About the course

The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree emphasizes the study of music within a broad program of general study. A non-teaching minor is also offered by the School of Music. Students are required to audition with the appropriate applied instrumental or vocal faculty prior to, or at the latest, during the first semester of study for all music programs. Placement in MUSI 195 (Applied Music) will be at the sole determination of the applied studio professor. Students with limited experience on their principal instrument are responsible for obtaining preparatory instruction and basic music-reading skills and may be required to complete MUSI 102 in order to develop the required skills necessary to be accepted for applied study and enroll in MUSI 195. If accepted for applied lessons, music majors must enroll in Applied Music each semester of residency. Advancement to the next level will be by performance jury and with the approval of the applied music instructor. An appearance on a recital as soloist must be completed before advancement to MUSI 395. Successful completion of at least one semester of MUSI 395 is required to graduate. All BA students and all applied music students are required to participate in the School's band, choral, and orchestral ensembles. Acceptable ensembles are listed in the Music Major Handbook.
