Recommended Course
TECH 100 (Introduction to Music Technology I) is strongly
recommended; any course in the TIMARA program may be substituted. Non-Course Requirements
First and Second Major Committee Examinations. The first will
consist of a review by the department of a student’s work in composition at the completion of the
second semester of composition study. The Second Major Committee Examination will consist
of a review at the completion of the fourth semester of composition study. For more information,
see “Private Study Committee Exams” in the Composition Major grid located in the
Conservatory section of this catalog. A student who receives an unsatisfactory evaluation on
either of the Major Committee Examinations will be denied permission to continue in the
Composition Emphasis major. Notes
1 At the time of acceptance into the College Music Major with Composition Emphasis, the
Department will determine whether one or more semesters of COMP 102 (A&B), 103 (A&B) or
COMP 202 (A&B), 203 (A&B) may be waived before beginning Private Study.
2 Aural Skills I-III must be taken concurrently with Music Theory I-III; e.g., a student will register for
Music Theory II and Aural Skills II in the same semester. It is strongly recommended that all Music
Majors also take Aural Skills IV, preferably in the same semester as Music Theory IV.
3 Part or all of the MUTH 131, 132, 231, 232 requirement may be waived by placement examination.
4 May be waived by examination. MHST 101 (Introduction to the History and Literature of Music,
four credits) is highly recommended for Music Majors in place of CMUS 100.
5 This course may be chosen from Ethnomusicology 100 or any of the 200-level Ethnomusicology or
200-level Music History courses other than the required MHST 275.
6 Any Conservatory ensemble. Only one credit per ensemble may be counted toward the major. |
