Non-Music and Music majors:
Students meet with an instructor for a weekly 50-minute lesson and a 50 minute Performance Class. There is a music lesson fee for this course.
Music majors only:
Acceptance into MUSL211 requires that students successfully perform and pass an audition before a Music faculty panel to demonstrate their competence in representative repertoire and technique that is commensurate with applied study at the prescribed collegiate level. Audition requirements vary by instrument and are published online by the Arts and Communication Department.
Students not meeting the minimum mastery level for entrance into the course will not be permitted to register for MUSL211. Instead, they will be required to register for MUSL100 Preparatory Lesson to attain the essential technical competence.
Students must successfully perform a mandatory jury exam before a Music faculty panel at the conclusion of the semester. The jury exam will serve as the sole determinant of whether a student is sufficiently qualified for admission into MUSL212 Principal Lesson IV.
Failure to demonstrate the prescribed level of musical competence at the jury exam, as evidenced by either inadequate performance of the required material or nonattendance of the jury exam itself, will constitute summary failure of the course, and a student so affected will be denied registration in the succeeding course level. Under such circumstances to continue in the MUSL112-series course sequence, the student must register for MUSL100 Preparatory Lesson and subsequently pass the associated jury examination. Satisfactory performance at this jury exam will qualify the student for registration in MUSL211 Principal Lesson III.
