All students majoring in music must develop certain skills in order to complete graduation requirements; in addition to completion of specified courses, the student must demonstrate proficiency in sight-singing, ear training, keyboard harmony, and piano. The first three areas are developed in conjunction with theory courses in the department; students deficient in piano must enroll in Piano Class I-IV: MUSP 110A, 110B, 210A, and 210B. All music majors must participate in ensemble each semester they are enrolled. Attendance at certain concerts and recitals is also required of music majors. In addition to course offerings for students majoring in music, the department offers applied music and ensemble courses for other interested students. Participation in choral, vocal, and instrumental ensembles is open to all students with permission of the director.
