Applied Music
All music majors shall enroll in applied music appropriate to their primary areas of performance each semester. The Applied Music curriculum is designed to foster maximum development of skill and insight in musical performance. Students have an opportunity to gain experience in performing before an audience through participation in weekly recital programs held throughout the school year.
Entering students, on the basis of their musical background, results of auditions and tests, recommendations of previous teachers, and individual counseling, are classified in one of these two series: MUAP 1101–1199 and 2101–2199, 1201–1299 and 2201–2299. See course descriptions section under MUSIC, APPLIED. Upon beginning study, a student improperly classified will be re-registered at the proper level during the first week of the semester. Students must receive a grade of "C" or higher to progress to the next level.
Students taking applied music at the 1201–1299 and 2201–2299 levels are required to attend a weekly performance lab or solo class recital and be currently enrolled in the appropriate large ensemble.
