Each level of Music Theory and Aural Skills is co-requisite, i.e., they must be taken at the same time. A grade of "C" or better must be earned in order to proceed to the next level. After this is accomplished, a student may retake one of the two co-requisite courses for the purpose of improving their grade. |

Students must participate in at least one semester hour of Music Ensemble per term for a minimum of seven terms. Music Ensembles are divided into two groups, "Major Ensembles" and "Minor Ensembles."
