INTERESTED IN TAKING PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS?

 

INSTRUMENTAL AND VOICE LESSONS are available to students who are Music Majors, Music Minors, or who are enrolled in a performance ensemble.

 

                The purpose of the Applied Music Program, in general, is to provide training for qualified students who wish to more fully express themselves through musical performance. 

 

To enroll in applied lessons you must:

 

1.         Enroll in one of the following performance ensembles:

*Entry into the Choral Scholars is determined by a rigorous audition and screening process which is usually completed in the year before admittance to the ensemble.

 

2.         Get an add/drop form and have it signed by Dr. Christopher Adler (Camino 142L, x7502) or Dr. Angela Yeung (Camino 142D, x4106).  Students enrolling in private lessons must pay an extra fee, per semester, of $430 for lower division or $460 for upper division credit

 

3.         Fill out the Applied Student Contact and Schedule Form (in wooden box outside Camino 142G) and return it to Dr. Ron Shaheen (C142G, x7653), who will arrange a teacher and a lesson time for you.  Applied music students receive ten one-hour lessons in the course of the semester.

 

            All applied music students must perform in a jury at the end of the semester as their final exam.  The day for juries is usually the dead day between the last day of class and the first day of final exams.  During juries, the students perform for a faculty panel who grade them on their performance.  The final grade is determined as follows: the instructor’s grade counts for 2/3rds and the composite jury grade counts for 1/3rd of the final grade.  (The composite jury grade is the average grade given by the faculty present at the juries.)

 

            In lieu of private lessons, students might consider one of the following group instruction courses:

 

Class Piano I (Musc 105)             Dr. Kay Etheridge        MW         13:15–14:10 in C172

Class Piano II (Musc 205)            Linda Scott                  MW         14:20–15:15 in C172

Class Voice (Musc 107)               Dr. Ron Shaheen          MW         10:00-10:55 in C20
