- The student’s major ensemble and primary performing instrument/voice will be determined by consensus of the music faculty. The eight semester hours of ensemble and eight semester hours of private lessons must take place with these agreed-upon choices.

This examination, administered by the piano faculty at a mutually convenient time, will test the student’s basic reading ability, knowledge of scales and arpeggios, ability to harmonize and transpose simple melodies, and further technical development. If keyboard skill development is necessary in order to pass the examination, students may enroll in MUS 141 - Piano Class I and MUS 142 - Piano Class II or enroll in MUS 118 /MUS 218 (Private Music Lessons: Piano) until piano proficiency requirements are met.
