Additional Information:

** The Performance Concentration involves 8 credits (taken in 2-credit blocks for each of 4 semesters) of MUS 130 Private Instruction all in one instrument or voice (chosen by the student), with the intent that this will be the primary musical skill in which the student will focus.

***Ensembles  must  correspond  to  the  major  area  of  focus  as  designated  by  the  Music  Department.    Admittance  into  performing ensembles is at the discretion of the appropriate conductor/coach.   Four credits must be in a large ensemble appropriate to the primary instrument.  Four credits must be in a small ensemble appropriate to the primary instrument.

Notes on Pre- Music

Pre-Music students should register under the Liberal Arts AA degree program and, over the course of the two semesters, take a range of  9-12 General Education credits that apply to both the Liberal Arts AA degree and the AS degree program in Music.

The credited music classes listed in Pre-Music count in the Liberal Arts AA program as electives, and will, therefore, count toward the 12-credit minimum in the major to maintain eligibility for Financial Aid.
