- Students will be assessed twice: before and after instruction by the private instructor and at least one full-time faculty member who is not the student’s private instructor. Each major will pursue a course of study tailored to the major’s specific needs.
- Based on the major’s ability level at the start the course, the first initial assessment will define the expectations for the amount of work and progress the major must achieve. Students perform for the two faculty members involved for approximately ten minutes, followed by a discussion leading to the completion of the first half of the Juried Lessons for the Music Major Assessment Form.
