General Music, Minor

The Minor in General Music is designed to give students a background in music theory, music history and in music performance (both solo and ensemble settings). Students earning a B.M. degree or a B.A. in Music are not eligible for this minor.

Students passing out of MUS 133 , MUS 134 , MUS 135 , or MUS 136  by placement exam, must substitute an equal number of credits (as were passed by exam) from the upper-division elective courses in the minor.

Admissions process: Contact conservatory chair for an interview to determine if it is possible to complete the minor in time to graduated. If it is, you will be placed on the pre-minor list. After being placed on this list, you will be eligible to:

• Do an audition on your primary instrument.
• If you pass the audition, you may then submit the form declaring your music minor.

A minimum of 9 credits must be selected from upper-division courses.
