Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t play the piano, is that a
problem?
Yes and no. All music majors and minors are required to pass piano
proficiency. Students with previous piano experience have a definite advantage
in preparing for this step. However, several beginning and intermediate piano
classes are available to help students who have little or no piano background
prepare for the piano proficiency exam.
Do I have to do a solo recital?
Yes. All music majors are required to do a senior recital. General music
students are required to present a thirty minute recital on their applied
instrument either first or second semester of their senior year.
Music students are also required to perform a single piece on one of
the several student recitals during the semester. Don’t worry! You’re applied
teacher will help you select an appropriate piece when the time comes.
