Special Note on Fees: The Applied Music Fee is charged for every course registered.

APPLIED MUSIC
Instruction in applied areas of music performance is available to all PBA students either for credit or through the School’s Preparatory Division. Applied music courses may not be audited; all applied music courses must be taken for credit. Persons seeking credit must meet certain proficiency standards in the applied area sought for study; if such proficiencies are not met, students must enroll in class study until the required proficiency level for private study is attained. Students who are not music majors or minors must complete an application with the appropriate applied division coordinator each semester prior to receiving registration confirmation; registration in a particular course does not guarantee instruction. All areas of applied music are offered in fall and spring semesters. An audition is required before credit will be given for study in an applied major area or applied principal area. If a student withdraws from an applied music course after the second week of classes, the applied music fee cannot be refunded. Applied music course numbers consist of the MUS prefix followed by a letter that indicates the particular area of instruction, as follows:

MUSI Instrumental Applied Music
Brass, woodwinds, strings, percussion, & guitar.

MUSK Keyboard Applied Music Piano and organ.

MUSV Vocal Applied Music
Course numbers are given for lower level and upper level study. Admission to upper level study is granted upon successful completion of the fourth semester jury and recommendation of the applied instructor. Each course number may be repeated for credit up to four times, for a total of eight semesters.
