Concurrent with each semester of applied study, students are required to enroll in a major performing ensemble (university chorale, or concert choir), involving a student's applied major or secondary area with the approval of the ensemble director. Vocal emphasis students must complete no less than two semesters of university chorale. Music Education keyboard students follow the emphasis requirement of their chosen applied secondary area. They may be allowed to take accompanying classes (MUS 136 and MUS 336) in place of a major ensemble for two semesters. |
