This certificate is administered by the Department of Music .

 

The Instrumental Music Performance Certificate is a non-degree program designed for students looking for intensive studies in instrumental music, as both a soloist and an ensemble performer. While pursuing a degree in a field other than music, you will develop your skills as a performer with weekly private lessons with music department faculty, and will perform in large and small group ensembles. Working with your studio teacher, you design a course of study selecting academic music courses that focus on your interests, rather than following the prescribed traditional music degrees tracks.

This program is intended for incoming first-year students who have an extensive background and training in music performance but will be majoring in a discipline outside of the Music Department. Students already in their first or second year may audition for the program only through special circumstances and exceptions. Admission requirements  are listed under the Music Department.
