Introduction
The Music Minor consists of a basic core of study in music theory along with ensemble performance, an introduction to musicology, and optional private instruction and ensemble. The minor allows for individual preferences in intensifying studies in certain aspects of music and broadening the scope of academic pursuits while focusing on a major in a different field.

To begin the music minor students must complete an Entrance Audition on their primary instrument or voice. Although we primarily admit students for the fall term, mid-year applicants are also accepted depending on space availability.
Juries
Students enrolled in applied lessons must complete a jury up to three times during the academic year. Jury schedules, including frequency and repertoire, are determined by each area of study. Students should refer all questions regarding juries to their area coordinator and applied instructor.

A grade of C- or better is required for all music major and minor courses.
