Secondary Education Music (4 + 1)

Note to students:  Remember that this is a SAMPLE.  Your schedule, for many reasons, will probably not end up looking exactly like this.  Lighter loads could be achieved with AP or summer coursework. Course in italics are only required for those student currently holding a music scholarship. Students seeking to participate in an off-campus program will need to be mindful of the sequencing of music courses and the rotating nature of the offerings in the area of the instrument pedagogy.
