Music - Monmouth College

Music from Monmouth College is a Campus Bachelor Music degree that prepares you for a Vocational Programs career. Music Major The program for the general music major includes MUSI 121, 122, 125, 221, 222, 225, 321, 322, and 420; at least one course chosen from MUSI 203, 205, 256, 301, 302, or 304; four credits in applied music (at least three of which focus on the student's declared major instrument or voice. Only study in the declared major applied area will be counted toward the major GPA); participation in a Music Department ensemble during each semester the student is enrolled on campus (only one ensemble per semester will count toward the major GPA; that ensemble must involve the major applied area, except for pianists); attendance at campus concerts, recitals, and Music Convocations, to be factored into the major applied grade each semester at professor's discretion. Music majors are required to demonstrate competence at the keyboard by passing all components of the piano proficiency exam, preferably by the end of the sophomore year (music education majors must pass the piano proficiency exam before student teaching begins). Declared music majors, or those contemplating a music major, should enroll in piano until passing the piano proficiency exam. If the music major's advisor is not a music faculty member, it is strongly urged that the student find an advisor in the music department by the end of the freshman year. Students intending to declare a major in music should do so by the end of the freshman year (with approval from and consultation with the music faculty). Music majors must declare a major applied area at this time. The culminating experience for music majors is an independent study (MUSI 420) in the senior year, consisting of an in-depth investigation of a topic chosen by the student in conjunction with a member of the music faculty, preferably the advisor. The major should consult with the department for additional policies.
