APPLIED MUSIC
Students may enroll in individual instruction in music at the
100, 200, or 300 level. Individual instruction is offered every
semester. A fee per credit is charged for all degree seeking
students. Non-matriculated students and students who are
enrolled for no credit are charged a single fee. See the
semester course schedule for offerings and fees.
Each private lesson takes place at an arranged time between

are required to sign up for a lesson time in the Music Building
prior to the beginning of each semester. A schedule is posted
on each professor’s door.

secondary instrument. 200 level is for beginning majors and
minors. 300 level is for advanced majors and minors

For all levels of instruction, each one-credit course requires

course requires one hour private lesson per week.
