Applied (Private) Lessons
Private lessons for students enrolled in two credit hours or more are 50-minutes in duration. Lessons may extend beyond 50 minutes at the discretion of the instructor and with the consent of the student. Students enrolled in one hour of credit will receive a 25-minute lesson.
Students should receive applied lessons during regular class days when no University holidays are scheduled. Regardless of circumstances, applied music students enrolled for private lessons should receive no fewer than thirteen lessons per semester. Lessons should be taught weekly. However, the instructor and student may agree on a different schedule to address unusual needs.
Students in the Bachelor of Music degree plan enroll in 2020 lessons at the lower division level and 4020 at the upper division level. Students in the Bachelor of Musical Arts, Bachelor of Music Education or the Bachelor of Fine Arts-General Music degree plans enroll in 2010 lessons at the lower division level and 4010 at the upper division level.
Student Absences– Unexcused absences by the student may be made up at the discretion of the teacher. Every effort should be made to make up excused lesson absences.
Teacher Absences– Lessons missed by the teacher will be made up unless absences are due to University-mandated attendance at a University-sanctioned activity.
