For Fall 2021 Applied Auditions are only required for New Students.

About Applied Music

Applied Music is a one-credit course consisting of individual private lessons, culminating in a juried performance at the end of the semester. Additional performance opportunities may include studio recitals, master classes, and the Honors Recital. Click here for a list of the Applied Lessons we offer.

There are two categories of applied lessons:

MUSC 280: Applied Music is a one-credit course consisting of a thirty-minute lesson each week

MUSC 380: Advanced Applied Music is a one-credit course consisting of a sixty-minute lesson each week. To be considered for MUSC 380, a student must be a Music Major and receive permission from the department.
