The Monmouth College Music Department offers applied music lessons for interested students.
Instruction is available in piano, voice, brass, woodwinds, percussion, and cello.
Enrollment is open to all students, although a fee is charged for students not concurrently enrolled in an ensemble. Performance instruction is available by audition or by consent of the instructor and consists of one half-hour lesson per week with at least one hour of daily practice for one credit per semester. Music majors or other advanced students may study for two credits per semester, requiring a one-hour individual lesson each week and at least two hours of daily practice. Music majors are expected to demonstrate competence on the keyboard by passing an examination in functional piano. Piano study for music majors who have had little experience with a keyboard instrument is strongly recommended for the freshman year as a basis for further study of music.
