Studio lessons are for-credit courses available only to students with music experience. Enrollment is by audition or instructor approval. Studio lessons require co-enrollment in music ensemble and Concert/Recital Attendance courses. Beginner-level music instruction is available through group lessons in piano, guitar and voice, a basic music theory course (MUS 100) and an introduction to music course (MUS 102).
