Courses in Music Performance
Individual Instruction
A half-hour lesson per week (100-level) for one-half (.500) course
credit is the norm, for which one and one-half hours of daily practice
are required. A one-hour lesson per week (200-level) for one full
(1.000) course credit is primarily for declared and prospective
performance majors and requires three hours of daily practice and
performance in at least one departmental recital during the semester.
Advanced students who are not music performance majors may, with
the approval of the Chairperson of the Department of Music, enroll
for weekly one-hour lessons for one full course credit, only so
long as they, too, meet the practice requirement of three hours daily
and perform in at least one departmental recital during the semester.
If, in the judgment of the instructor, a student enrolled for one-hour
lessons is not meeting the practice requirement or will not be prepared
to perform in a departmental recital during the current semester,
the student must change that semester to half-hour lessons for one-half
course credit. Instructors are urged to require applied students
to maintain regular practice logs. Permission of the instructor
is required for enrollment in applied lessons, whether for half
or full credit or for audit. A lesson fee may be charged; see the
section entitled Expenses.
Students not majoring in music who desire to register for performance
courses or groups might be required to audition prior to registration.
Details of audition requirements are available in the Music Department
Office. For non-music majors, no more than one credit in music performance
courses or groups may count toward the minimum of 32 courses required
for graduation, unless the student is a minor in music.
All students–majors and non-majors–enrolled for credit
in private lessons, except complete beginners, are required to perform
for a faculty jury at the end of the semester.
