Music Minor

This program provides an organized sequence of study for students majoring outside of music. Each applicant must audition on a principal instrument or voice. Auditions must be scheduled through the Music, Theatre, and Dance admission office. 

Private lessons for the Music Minor may not be scheduled prior to a successful audition. Enrollment in private lessons is dependent upon studio capacity.

Normally students enroll in ensemble during the semesters of private instrument study. Consecutive fall/spring semesters are advised for many ensembles, although exceptions can be accommodated. Many ensembles require an audition. Auditions generally occur in the fall semester for both fall and spring ensembles. Minors are expected to follow the Center for Music Ensemble policy
