Roadmap Notes

* Either 5A or 5B must be taken with a 5C - Laboratory .

** Piano Proficiency: All music majors must be enrolled in MUSC 25A and MUSC 25B until they have passed their piano proficiency exam. Instructors will determine student placement in 25A or 25B. For those students with a piano background who feel they are capable of passing the piano proficiency exam prior to enrolling in the class, the exam will be administered once each semester. Please contact the Director of Keyboard Studies for more information. If a student has passed the piano proficiency exam, he or she does not need to enroll in 25A or 25B.
