Academic Credit for Recitals

Student musicians, both majors and non-majors, may enroll in Music 299 (Recital) in order to receive academic credit for presenting a public music recital. The recital must consist of a minimum of 30 minutes of solo music performance, although some chamber music may be included. Students enrolling in Music 299 do so in lieu of registering for applied lessons at the four credit/hour level; 299 includes nine one-hour lessons. Prerequisites for Music 299 include a completed recital form and permission of the Music Department the term prior to the recital. Fees and financial aid for 299 are the same as for 4-credit applied lessons. Music 299 satisfies 4 credits of the Arts and Literature distribution requirements. Complete guidelines and application forms are available in the Music Hall lobby.
