Music - Brigham Young University - Laie

Music from Brigham Young University - Laie is a Campus Bachelor Music degree that prepares you for a Vocational Programs career. Acceptance into music program as a music major: All majors are on a provisional basis until MUSC 111, 111L, 112, 112L, and two semesters of 160R have been completed with a grade no lower than C-. D credit will not be accepted in fulfilling major requirements. Students must audition and be accepted as a music major before they are allowed to register for music major courses. Students may register provisionally for MUSC 111 and 111L, AND a diagnostic examination will be given on the first day of class. Students needing remedial work will need to drop the class(es) and take a music fundamentals course offered during winter semester. Each student intending to enroll as a music major must have sufficient musical background and potential to complete the degree requirements. Auditions for MUSC 160R are given at the beginning of each semester. Students must enroll in MUSC 160R or 360R each semester in residence, even though the minimum number of credit hours has been met. Jurying into MUSC 360R is not automatic. All Bachelor of Arts degree candidates are expected to achieve a useful ability to play the piano. This is measured by a preliminary proficiency exam upon entering the program. Students taking or preparing to take Music Theory 111 who have no piano experience should also enroll in MUSC 159R (Individual Instruction, Piano). The deadline for completing the piano proficiency exam is prior to the scheduling of the senior project. In addition to basic piano proficiency, all candidates are required to improve their performance skills in their major performance area (voice, piano, and instrumental) through private study and must participate in public recitals during fall and winter semesters. A senior project in music is required: either a scholarly work, a performance, or a composition. The proposed project must be submitted in writing and approved the semester before the project begins. This project is part of the final MUSC 360R course. Ensemble participation is expected every semester even if the hour requirement is reached before the completion of the major. Students may not be enrolled in more than one ensemble per semester without permission of the Performance Area Coordinator. Music majors must attend at least seven concerts or recitals per semester or term for six semesters/terms. Students submit programs to the music department office to verify completion of this requirement (Programs will only be accepted in the semester in which the event is offered).
