MUS-2080 Applied Music - Level IV

Credits 2
This is a continuation of MUS-2070. This course provides private individual instruction in a single instrument including but not limited to voice, piano, organ, guitar, electric bass, double bass, drum set, band and orchestral instruments at the accomplished level in accordance to the National Association of Schools of Music standards. Students continue to learn essentials of musical exercises and performance. Students learn how to execute major and minor scales and arpeggios at multiple octaves both as warm-up exercises and within the context of musical repertoire. Students are taught how to successfully sight-read music at the accomplished level. Students prepare and perform repertoire from different time periods from the Common Practice Era (1600-present) adhering to appropriate artistic techniques for the respective time periods. Students perform the repertoire covered in their individual lessons multiple times in front of their peers and faculty throughout the semester during student seminars. Students also perform during the end-of-semester Honors Recital. A performance jury examination is required at the close of each semester. Published course requirements for individual instruments listed below are available from the music area.
