Any student desiring to perform a recital must present a pre-recital jury to the music faculty at least three weeks prior to the scheduled recital date. Private piano instruction or a piano proficiency exam and an aural proficiency examinations are required of all students majoring in music. It is recommended these examinations be taken by the end of the junior year. The student will, however, need to complete the teaching laboratory portion of the course. All college students enrolled in applied music for credit must take a jury examination at the conclusion of each semester.
Scholarships are available to offset the fee for lessons.
Applied music courses are graded on a regular basis. A maximum of eight credits in applied music is applicable toward degree requirements except for performance emphasis music majors who may count ten credits toward degree requirements.
