Statement on Ensembles:

 

No undergraduate student will be allowed to enroll in more than two 1-credit ensembles in a given semester.  Undergraduate students enroll in up to four curricular ensembles (1-credit and ½-credit) in a semester.  Any student may be asked to be in more than one 1-credit ensemble in a semester, but they cannot be required to do so.  This does not pertain to the choral requirements for instrumental Music Education majors, as that is a requirement of the major. 

Each undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree program in the School of Music is required to enroll in a 1-credit or ½-credit ensemble during the semesters of private applied study. 

All students required to enroll in a 1-credit ensemble will do so on the instrument correlating to the primary studio assignment unless specifically exempted by the administration of the School of Music.

Exemption from any ensemble policy requires agreement between the ensemble director(s) and the studio instructor, and may be appealed to the department chair.
