ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTS
Violin, Viola, Cello
In this degree program, music electives may include chamber music, with instructor's approval, or other music courses. MUS 323, 337, 342, 435, 568, and 569 are offered on a rotational basis, and students may take these courses out of the sequence listed, if necessary. Students are required to take History of Music I, II, and III (MUS 325, 326, 327) in the sequence listed.
Undergraduate applied string majors will be evaluated by members of the string committee during their fourth-semester jury to determine acceptability for admission to junior-level applied study. Any student not admitted to the junior level will be permitted to continue studies in applied music at the sophomore level in order to correct deficiencies or may seek admission to another degree program within the music school.
