Music Curriculum Fees
MUSIC LESSON FEES
Students may take music lessons with or without receiving academic credit for the lessons. Students enrolled in lessons will be charged fees—in addition to any applicable tuition—according to the following schedule:
| Lesson Fees--per quarter, plus tuition |
|
For credit:
|
Nine half-hour lessons (1 credit)
|
$225, plus tuition
|
| |
Nine one-hour lessons (2-4 credits)
|
$450, plus tuition
|
| Lesson Fees--per quarter |
|
For no credit:
|
Nine half-hour lessons
|
$335
|
|
Nine one-hour lessons
|
$670
|
A minimum of nine 30-minute lessons per quarter and daily practice totaling five clock hours per week corresponds to one credit hour of music lessons.
It is the student’s responsibility to meet the appointed time for lessons. The teacher is obligated to provide opportunity for makeup lessons only in cases of illness or emergency. Excused absences may be made up at the discretion of the teacher if previous arrangements have been made. Lessons falling on holidays or vacations are not made up unless this results in the student receiving fewer than nine lessons during the quarter.
If a student taking lessons for credit discontinues the lessons, the student must submit a Change of Registration form to the Academic Records Office at the time the lessons are discontinued. A student taking noncredit lessons must inform the Music Office when discontinuing lessons.
Federal financial aid cannot be used to pay for tuition for lessons not required for a student's degree.
MUSIC LESSON FEE WAIVERS
Scholarships equal to the lesson fees charged for credit lessons are available only for music “majors in good standing” who meet the following criteria:
- Completion of MUCT 121-123 Theory I and MUCT 131-133 Ear Training I
- Acceptance into the music program as a result of passing a status jury exam
- Enrollment in at least 12 credit hours (Audits and "No credit" classes do not count)
Students taking music lessons prior to meeting the above criteria are required to pay the fees during the quarter in which they register for the lessons. Music lesson fee waivers are not retroactive. Students who complete eligibility requirements at the beginning of winter quarter become eligible that quarter. Students who complete eligibility requirements at the end of spring quarter become eligible the following fall quarter. Only those lessons which are needed to complete requirements for a music major are included in the waiver program. Music majors can receive a lesson fee waiver for more than one emphasis provided they pass status jury exams for more than one emphasis and meet all the qualifications.
The music lesson fee waiver program is under review, and may not be available forstudents who enroll or change majors after Fall 2020.
INSTRUMENT RENTAL
Students may rent band or orchestra instruments for $75 per quarter.
