Depending upon the degree plan, APMS 391 must be taken simultaneously with either APMS 301, 302, 319 or 320; APMS 491 must be taken simultaneously with either APMS 401, 402, 419 or 420.

Lesson Length

  • For Study of Principal Instrument or Area. Lesson length is 1 hour per week.
  • For Study of Secondary Instrument or Non-Principal Area. A student who is enrolled for one credit hour of applied music credit is entitled to one half-hour lesson per week. A student who is enrolled for two or more credit hours of applied music credit is entitled to one one-hour lesson per week.
  • For Music Minors or Non-Majors. Student is entitled to one half-hour lesson per week.

Priority for Studio Space

Studio space is limited; admission is by audition. Priority in the availability of applied music instruction is as follows:

Vocal and Instrumental Studios

  • Students pursuing the Master of Music or Bachelor of Music, provided the instrument is the student's principal instrument.
  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Music or the Bachelor of Music Education, provided the instrument is the student's principal instrument.
  • Students pursuing the undergraduate minor in Music or in Music Education, when required by the degree program.
  • Graduate or undergraduate music majors who wish to study secondary instruments.
  • Full-time undergraduate and graduate students pursuing non-music degrees. These students MUST have the approval of the department chairperson.

Piano Studios

  • Students pursuing the Master of Music concentration in Collaborative Piano or in Performance (for piano); or the Bachelor of Music concentration in Performance (for piano).
  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Music with piano as the principal instrument, or the Bachelor of Music Education concentration in Instrumental or in Vocal (Piano emphasis).
  • Music majors who need applied piano for degree requirements.
  • Students pursuing the undergraduate minor in Music or in Music Education, when applied piano is required by the degree plan.
  • Graduate or undergraduate music majors who wish to study piano as a secondary instrument.
  • Full-time undergraduate and graduate students pursuing non-music degrees. These students MUST have the approval of the department chairperson. Priority is given to students enrolled in MUS 395/595 Accompanying or who are doing accompanying work within the Department of Music.

Piano proficiency requirement for applied piano instruction: For applied instruction in piano, if the degree requires piano proficiency, the student must have passed all elements of the proficiency exam in order to qualify for consideration in applied piano. If piano proficiency is not required by the degree plan, the student's level of performance must be at least as high as that required for completion of Group Piano IV. Students who do not meet the proficiency or level requirement for applied piano are assigned to the appropriate level of Group Piano.

Limits for Applied Music Instruction. In all categories of applied music instruction, where the instrument (or voice) is required by the degree plan, priority is given according to the number of credit hours required by the degree. If a student wishes to take more applied music instruction than is required by his or her degree program, he or she must be approved for study by the department Chairperson.

Course Sequence and Repetition. A student is normally expected to proceed through his or her appropriate Applied Music course series sequentially. Course numbers may be repeated upon recommendation by the faculty and with approval by the department chairperson.

Requirements for Continuation in Applied Music. Applied music instruction is discontinued if a student is not making adequate progress toward the degree. Adequate progress is defined as progress in all required areas (Concert Music, ensemble and theory) and is defined in the Department of Music Undergraduate Handbook. According to the Scholastic Standards of the College of Fine Arts, faculty may exclude from the program any student whose grade point average in his or her major field falls substantially below 3.0. Furthermore, the faculty reserves the right to disqualify from further enrollment or participation in departmental programs:

  • Students who fail to demonstrate reasonable progress in their professional development in music; or
  • Students whose conduct reveals a persistent inability to work effectively with others or an unwillingness to adhere to generally recognized standards of professional behavior; or
  • Students who do not consult their assigned advisor prior to registering each semester.

Juries. All students enrolled in Applied Music courses are required to perform a jury at the end of each semester for faculty in the appropriate area of specialization. Consult the Department of Music Undergraduate Student Handbook or the Department of Music Graduate Student Handbook for details.

Applied Music Ensemble Requirement. All undergraduate students who are enrolled in Applied Music courses must also participate in a major ensemble during the same semester of enrollment. See "Ensemble Requirements" in the Music - Undergraduate Program section of this Catalog for specific degree plan requirements. If a student wishes to study applied music beyond the number of hours required by the degree, he or she must then also participate concurrently in a major ensemble. Students who do not participate in a major ensemble as required are withdrawn from Applied Music. The following exemptions are made to the Applied Music Ensemble Requirement:

  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Music concentration in Theory and Composition are exempt from concurrent major ensemble participation during enrollment in applied music credit hours required by the degree, but major ensemble requirements must be fulfilled for completion of the degree (see Ensemble Requirements). NOTE: If the student wishes to study applied music beyond the credit hours required by the degree, he or she must then also participate concurrently in a major ensemble.
  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Music concentration in Performance (Keyboard emphasis in either piano or organ) are exempt from concurrent major ensemble participation, but major ensemble requirements must be fulfilled for completion of the degree (see Ensemble Requirements). NOTE: If the student wishes to study applied music beyond the hours required by the degree, he or she must then participate concurrently in a major ensemble.
  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Music concentration in Performance (Instrumental emphasis in guitar) are exempt from concurrent major ensemble participation during enrollment in applied music credit hours required by the degree, but major ensemble requirements must be fulfilled for completion of the degree (see Ensemble Requirements). NOTE: If the student wishes to study applied music beyond the credit hours required by the degree, he or she must then participate concurrently in a major ensemble.
  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Music concentration in Jazz Studies are exempt from concurrent major ensemble participation, but major ensemble requirements must be fulfilled for completion of the degree (see Ensemble Requirements).
