For those who would specialize in music, the program provides professional training wholly compatible with the College's liberal arts tradition. An audition before members of the music faculty is required for entrance into the music major. At the end of their sophomore year, all music majors are evaluated for junior standing. They must show they have fulfilled repertoire requirements in their performance area through the sophomore year, and they must satisfactorily perform 15-20 minutes of music from that list. If this junior-standing jury is insufficient in either repertoire or performance, the faculty may admit the student provisionally to junior standing in the major or advise the student to discontinue the music major. The previous represents the minimum requirements for a music major or minor. In addition to the basic BA in Music major, emphases in specific areas are available. The emphases in Music Education - General and Choral or General and Instrumental - meet current Wisconsin licensure requirements and they also meet the standards of the National Association of Schools of Music . For students who seek further depth and skills development, emphases is available in Instrumental and General Music Education . View more details on Carthage College .
