A. Students interested in music education are advised to take 6.0 units from MUSC 270 Conducting Techniques; MUSC 274 Music Education:Partnership Placement; MUSC 280 Vocal Techniques and Methods-MUSC 288 Guitar Techniques and Methods.

B. Students who meet higher standards of performing ability, including those entering their first year, may audition in September for acceptance into the “double unit” Applied Study (performance) courses. In addition to their private lessons, students in these courses perform a public recital at the end of the year. Students who audition successfully register in MUSC 120 Applied Study I to IV (Performance) and MUSC 125 Applied Study I (Performance Recital) instead of MUSC 121 Applied Study I to IV (and similarly in upper years). The MUSCX25/6.0 courses may be used towards the MUSC Option components of the BMUS degree.

C. Applied Study Requirements: Students registered in MUSC 120 Applied Study I to IV (Performance), MUSC 121 Applied Study I to IV, MUSC 220 Applied Study II (Performance), and MUSC 221 Applied Study II are required to attend six concerts per term, to a total of 12 concerts per academic session. This required concert attendance accounts for 10% of the teacher’s component of the Applied Study mark at the end of the year.

D. By the end of the second year, students are expected to have attained the Minimum Degree Level in their instrumental or vocal applied study (a proficiency equivalent to that of Grade X of the Royal Conservatory of Music). Students who do not reach this level will be required to continue to study applied music, without additional credit, until this level is successfully achieved.

E. A maximum of 6.0 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan Requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, LAW, NURS and courses in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
