LinC+ requirements of 6-7 units: F1, F3 (1-2 recommended in the first year), F4, two from M1-M5, and U1 or U2 (not both). F2 and M6 are waived.
GENERAL ELECTIVES, the Music Elective, and the LinC+ courses are interchangeable (except for the First Year Seminar, F1).
PERFORMANCE: The unit includes a major lesson, large ensemble, optional secondary lessons and ensembles, concert attendance, weekly Tuesday morning Performance Class attendance and a Performance Class performance (except for 1st term with private instructor), and an end-of-term Jury. See a music advisor for the two required Lesson Scheduling forms. Composition majors take two major lessons: lessons in a major performance concentration, as well as composition lessons.
TECHNIQUES: Voice (130.1), Piano (136.1), and Technology (137.1) PRACTICUMS: 1.75 units of study appropriate to the concentration (voice, instrument, classical, jazz). See descriptions later in this Handbook.
RECITALS: Vocalists and Instrumentalists perform one half junior recital (MUS375.2) and one full senior recital (MUS 375). Composition majors present their compositions, as well as perform in their performance concentration.
* COMPOSITION: Please see page 33 for the requirements to be a composition major.
