A minimal Music Third includes four components:

• Individual instruction (instrumental performance, composition, or voice), the central area of study around which the rest of the program is planned

• Theory and/or history (see requirements below)

• A performance ensemble (see area requirements below)

• Concert attendance/Music Tuesdays (see requirements below)

The student, in consultation with the faculty, plans the music program best-suited to his or her needs and interests. Advanced students may, with faculty consent, elect to take two-thirds of their course of study in music.
