Lessons in each area (voice, brass, piano, etc.) are listed with two course numbers, representing upper and lower division lessons. Students may register for upper-division numbers following a minimum of four semesters at the lower-division level and successful completion of a comprehensive performance exam. Students taking music lessons must also register concurrently for a performing ensemble: MUSI 012, MUSI 014, MUSI 015 or MUSI 017. Students participating in these ensembles are required to perform on their lesson instrument unless specifically directed by the applied instructor.
