The department offers majors in the following areas of performance: bassoon,
clarinet, classical guitar, euphonium or baritone horn, flute, harp, horn,
oboe, organ, percussion, piano, saxophone, string bass, trombone, trumpet,
tuba, viola, violin, violoncello, and voice. With departmental permission,
students may major in fields other than those listed. Students must study continuously
in their chosen disciplines until they meet all graduation requirements, including
satisfactory public performance of specified recitals during the junior and
senior years.
Each music performance major is required to participate in at least one university
ensemble related to the student's applied music concentration during each quarter
in which the student is enrolled full time. Assignment to an ensemble is made
by the director of bands, director of choral studies, or director of orchestral
studies; the appropriate ensemble director; and the student's full-time applied
instructor. When the student's applied instructor is not a full-time faculty
member, approval must be given by the chair of the student's applied board.
To be eligible for the Bachelor of Music degree, the performance major must
have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in the major performing medium and a 2.0
in all other required music courses.
