1 | Individual applied music must be studied each semester for a total of six semesters. In the sixth and final semester of study, each student will present a public recital. To aid the student in preparing for this final project, the Department of Music offers a special seminar under the guidance of the applied music instructor. Normally, all six semesters should be taken in the same applied instrument (voice, piano, clarinet, etc.). In exceptional cases a change from one instrument to another may be permitted in the major area with the approval of the instructors involved and the department head, but in such cases the student will be expected to declare clearly what subject his/her major instrument is and to pass the junior seminar work in that instrument. | |
