Music Degrees
Program Requirements for All Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts Majors
All music majors whose primary performing instrument is not piano or organ must pass a piano proficiency examination. If keyboard skills are lacking, further applied piano study is required. Music Therapy majors must also pass a guitar proficiency examination. All undergraduate music majors must present a senior recital on their primary instrument.
All music majors participate in a major ensemble appropriate to their primary performing instrument each semester of full-time status except while student teaching. Vocal majors enroll in Concert Choir. Wind and percussion majors enroll in Wind Symphony. String majors enroll in Orchestra. Piano, organ, and guitar majors can choose their major ensemble. Non-vocal majors must enroll in Concert Choir for at least four semesters. In addition, instrumental majors have a secondary ensemble requirement that depends on the student's primary instrument: String Ensemble (string players), Percussion Ensemble (percussionists), Flute Choir (flutists), and Jazz Ambassadors, Orchestra, or Guitar Ensemble (other wind players).
Music majors are also required to complete the University core curriculum.
