The program also provides opportunities for students and members of the non-University community to experience a better quality of life through music exposure and study. Concerts, lectures, seminars, and workshops are presented to meet this aspect of our mission. Piano proficiency and musical achievement tests may be administered to freshmen and new students who elect the Music Education program. These tests are administered at designated periods prior to registration for each semester. Test results are used to counsel students in music course selection and aid them in pursuing a curriculum suitable to their abilities, talents and potential for success.
