  • All Applied Music students are responsible for accurate enrollment for lessons in the specific instrument and credit hours of study.  See class schedule or call the Liberal Arts Division Office.

 

  • A minimum of 13 lessons per semester are required in order to receive credit. Students will receive an F for the semester if they do not take the required lessons and do not drop.

 

  • Each student is expected to pay the assessed fees ($25.00 per half hour for one credit or $50 per hour for two credits) directly to the assigned Applied Music instructor in a manner agreed upon.  Outstanding financial obligations will result in placing a hold on the student’s records.

 

  • All lessons should be attended promptly at the assigned time.  Missed lessons must be paid for if a 24 hour notification is not made. For emergency cancellations, the instructor may use his/her discretion for rescheduling the music lesson.

 

  • At the suggestion of the instructor, the students are encouraged to attend and/or perform in repertoire sessions, student recitals, graduation performances and campus concerts.

 

  • All Applied Music students should contact the Liberal Arts Division Office for instructor assignment. Names will be kept in the Liberal Arts Division Office and posted on the bulletin board near the practice rooms. 

 

  • All Applied Music students who are music majors and taking hour lessons must take a final examination jury at the end of the semester in their major instrument. Exceptions to the jury requirement are auditors and non-music majors.

 

  • Music majors should meet with their faculty advisor at least once during the academic year.  Contact the Liberal Arts Division Office for an appointment..
