This program includes academic courses in English, social studies, mathematics, science, health and physical education, plus music courses tailored to the individual student. The dean, with the advice of the major teacher, will decide when a music student may enter into the four-year college degree or diploma program. Because of the possibility of advanced placement in music subjects, some students moving from high school to college at NCSA may be able to complete their degree in fewer than four years. The School of Music offers private instruction on instruments, in composition and in voice, as well as coursework for exceptionally gifted special students.
Admission is by permission of the instructor and approval of the dean.
