Priority List For Student Assignments In Private Instruction

Length of private lessons: 1/2 hour per week (1-2 units); 1 hour per week (3 or more units). Performance majors only may elect private lessons for 3 or more units without permission from their instructor. Students in other degree programs should discuss lessons for 3 or more units at the beginning of each semester. The instructor holds the right to group students into semi-private or class lessons in the levels of study 181 and 182. Often this arrangement proves to be advantageous to the technical and musical development of the students involved. This arrangement will be carefully reviewed each semester of study so as to maintain optimum growth in all students involved. Each studio instructor will assume full responsibility for the assigning of students to Graduate Teaching Assistants or other teaching assistants and will make such assignments in the best interest for the student and teaching assistant.

Priority assignments in private instruction are as follows:

1. Music majors studying their major or required instruments
2. Non majors on music scholarships
3. Students performing in School of Music ensembles
4. Music majors, with the permission of their advisor, who wish to study an additional instrument in which they are already reasonably proficient.
5. Music minors who have had some performance experience on their instrument.
6. General university students who wish instruction.
