Prior to entry into Theory 1 and Ear Training 1, all students must pass a theory placement exam, administered on the first class day. Students who do not pass this exam are required to pass MUS 1040 (Introduction to Theory 1) and MUS 1050 (Introduction to Theory 2) before beginning the regular theory and ear-training course sequence.
At the completion of course-work toward the minor, students are required to successfully pass a minor hearing (a demonstration of your performance ability for the instrumental or vocal faculty). This process is explained in detail by the applied instructors.
