Recital Attendance Class

    This class is mandatory for all music majors.  Attendance at department-sponsored recitals and concerts is required; the number may vary from semester to semester.  Music majors taking private applied lessons are required to perform for the class twice each semester.  All class members serve on related committees.  This non-credit course provides documentation for recital attendance as required by upper division colleges and universities.

Piano Class

    Basic instruction in the fundamentals of keyboard technique.

Foundations of Music

    This course is an introduction to the elements of music with emphasis on the five phases of the music program for early childhood and elementary education: rhythmic activates, singing, playing simple instruments, listening, and creative activities.  An examination of recently published materials in the field of music for the elementary music is included.  The opportunity for a field experience in public schools is offered.

Private Applied Piano & Private Applied Pipe Organ

    Applied music courses involve private instrumental instruction and are primarily limited to music majors.  To enroll in applied music courses, students must be enrolled in music courses as prescribed in the music degree plans, receive special permission for the department coordinator, or receive a scholarship which requires private lessons.  A one-credit hour course requires a half-hour private lesson each week; a two-credit-hour course requires a one hour private lesson each week.  All non-music majors enrolled in private lessons will be required to either perform on a students recital or for a music jury at the end of the semester.  Music majors will be required to perform a solo on their major applied instrument twice each semester and for a music jury at the end of the semester.
