ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Auditions. Students who wish to major or minor in music are required to audition on their major instrument before being admitted. (Those interested in only pursuing the concentration in Music Business are instead interviewed.) The audition should include a minimum of two contrasting works and may include scales, arpeggios, and sight- reading. Application for admission to all teacher licensure programs is made directly to the Department of Teacher Education.

Piano Proficiency Exam. Music students will demonstrate piano proficiency as a requirement of the major or minor. A proficiency exam is offered to determine the level at which the student should begin study. Students may forfeit the exam and begin with Keyboard Skills I level of study.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS IN MUSIC STUDIES

Piano Proficiency. Before graduation, students with Music Performance, Sacred Music, and Music Education concentrations must achieve proficiency at the Class Piano IV level, while those in Music Business, Popular Music and Worship Arts must achieve proficiency at the Keyboard Skills II level.
