4. Notes
A. Students interested in music education are advised to take 6.0 units from MUSC 270; MUSC 274; MUSC 280 – MUSC 288.
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 and MUSC 125 instead of MUSC 121 (and similarly in upper years). The MUSC X25/6.0 courses may be used towards the MUSC Option components of the BMUS degree.
C. Applied Study Requirements: Students registered in MUSC 120, MUSC 121, MUSC 220, and MUSC 221 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.
E. A maximum of 6.00 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, HSCI, LAW, NURS, and courses in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
