Private lessons in voice, piano, organ, guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, or percussion instruments are required of Music majors each semester that they are enrolled as a major.
Lessons are available to nonmajors, depending upon faculty availability.
Instructor assignments are made by the division chair in consultation with the applied music faculty. Music majors with minimal proficiency in their applied area will be required to enroll in APM 0131 before proceeding with the APM 131 through APM 333 sequence. At the end of each semester, the student must perform before a faculty jury. Such assessment will be based on an evaluation that the proficiency is below that required to proceed to the next level. The student will receive only institutional credit for reenrollment in an applied music course and must complete through the 333 level with music faculty approval to graduate.
