The Department of Music offers undergraduate programs to students who wish to study music within a strong liberal arts curriculum as well as to those who choose to specialize in composition, history, performance, or theory, or who wish to undertake preparation for graduate training in public school teaching. The department's graduate program in musicology (M.A. and Ph.D.) is ranked among the highest in the nation.
The bachelor of arts program provides a focus on music in the context of a broad education in the liberal arts, requiring 43 credit hours in music and at least 75 outside the major (120 total credit hours). Students completing this degree are prepared for graduate study in music, though many successfully pursue further training and/or employment in professional fields such as arts administration, business, law, librarianship, and medicine. Many B.A. candidates are double majors.
The bachelor of music degree places emphasis on specialized training in music, requiring 66 credit hours in music and 54 outside the major (120 total credit hours). This program is designed for (but not limited to) students who hope subsequently to pursue graduate study in music performance, composition, music education, or musical scholarship.
Students in both programs may pursue pathways in areas such as composition, jazz studies, music history, music theory, performance, or popular music; further advice is available from the director of undergraduate studies in music.
The department also offers academic courses designed for non-majors (for which an ability to read musical notation is not required), many of which satisfy various General Education requirements. In addition, any University student may be eligible to take applied lessons in an instrument or voice (subject to a fee; further details are given below) and may participate in the department's performance ensembles (orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles, athletic bands, jazz groups, etc.), in either case for college credit. Admission to lessons and ensembles is subject to audition at the beginning of each semester and to availability of places; further details are available from the department office in Hill Hall.
Admission: Students are admitted to the various degree programs through the regular admissions process established by the University. Prospective students intending to major in music are urged to contact the Department of Music for an audition during the year prior to anticipated enrollment in order to strengthen their application credentials and to compete for scholarships offered by the department, including the prestigious William R. Kenan Jr. Music Scholarship Program. Students holding these scholarships are normally required to pursue a major in music (B.A. or B.Mus.) and to participate in specified ensembles.
The degrees offered are bachelor of arts in music and bachelor of music. A minor in music is also offered.
Music Core Curriculum: All students pursuing an undergraduate degree majoring in music must complete the department's core curriculum, consisting of four courses in music history, four courses of music theory, and at least four separate semesters (or the equivalent) of ensemble. The distribution of courses in each area is shown below.
Music history (12 hours):
MUSC 251 Studies in Music History to 1650
MUSC 252 Studies in Music History, 1650-1850
MUSC 253 Studies in Music History since 1850
MUSC 355 Topics in the History and Culture of Music
Music theory (15 hours):
MUSC 131/131L Theory-Musicianship I with lab
MUSC 132/132L Theory-Musicianship II with lab
MUSC 232/232L Theory-Musicianship III with lab (MUSC 132/132L with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite)
and one course selected from: MUSC 234, 331, 332, 333, or 338.
Ensemble (four hours): four separate semesters (or the equivalent) of large or appropriate ensemble
In addition to completing the Department of Music's core curriculum as described above, students pursuing the B.A. in music must complete an additional 12 hours of music elective credit. Taken together with the 31 hours required by the music core, students complete a total of 43 hours in music, which is combined with at least 75 hours outside the department for a total of 120 hours overall. Note: candidates for the B.A. may receive no more than 45 credit hours in music and must complete a minimum of 75 hours of course work outside music, including all General Education requirements (as described elsewhere in this bulletin).
In addition to completing the Department of Music's core curriculum described above, students pursuing the B.Mus. must complete:
A minimum of 14 hours of applied instruction, and normally 16. This requirement will usually be met by advanced applied lessons drawn from MUSC 200-206 taken over eight semesters (two credit hours per semester). Up to four hours of MUSC 200-206 lessons may be substituted by up to six hours of MUSC 300-306 recitals. Students may petition the director of undergraduate studies to count toward this requirement no more than two hours of MUSC 100-106 applied lessons; to waive one semester of MUSC 200-206 lessons in the case of Study Abroad or similar experience; or to substitute an approved number of credit hours from MUSC 166 and MUSC 266.
Four additional separate semesters (or the equivalent) of appropriate departmental ensembles (four hours additional to the four hours in the music core)
Additional hours of music elective credit for a total of 66 hours of music. Combined with 54 hours outside music, students complete 120 hours overall. All candidates for the B.Mus. must complete 54 hours outside of music, including all General Education requirements (as described elsewhere in this bulletin).
Students interested in gaining certification to teach music in North Carolina public schools may take a prescribed course of study in preparation to apply for the master of arts in teaching program offered through the School of Education. Admittance to the MAT program requires a separate application to the Graduate School in a candidate's senior year. Students who complete the MAT program are eligible for North Carolina advanced level licensure. Further details of B.Mus. emphases are available from the department's undergraduate advisors.
The Department of Music offers one minor in music (15 hours). Students are required to take MUSC 121 (three hours; which may be substituted by MUSC 131 for qualified students), one of MUSC 141-147 or 188 (three hours), and one of MUSC 240, 248, 280-288, or 363 (three hours). The remaining six hours are to be taken from other academic courses, individual applied instructions, or ensembles offered in the department, subject to prerequisites and other admissions requirements, and to the approval of the director of undergraduate studies.
Students interested in becoming candidates for a degree with honors in music should read the regulations governing departmental honors in the College of Arts and Sciences, found elsewhere in this bulletin, and should consult the honors advisor of the department toward the end of the sophomore year. The department has funds to support undergraduate research (defined to include creative activity) that are often used by students for honors theses and similar independent studies.
The department actively encourages study abroad and has relationships with numerous institutions that permit students to pursue their musical and other interests in an international context.
The director of undergraduate studies is Professor Allen Anderson, CB# 3320, Hill Hall, (919) 962-2276. For information on scholarships, contact Jeffrey Fuchs, CB# 3320, Hill Hall, (919) 962-5695.

The following courses, plus applied instruction and ensembles (covered separately, below), are among those offered by the Department of Music. Not all of these courses will be offered in a given year or summer session; for further details, see the directory of classes.
An ability to read music notation is not normally required to complete the following courses: MUSC 51-63, 141-147, 188, 240, 248, 280-288. Such an ability is also not normally required for admission to MUSC 121.
Note that numerous courses in music also meet General Education requirements.

Individual Applied Instruction and Ensembles
Instruction for academic credit in keyboard, wind, brass, percussion, and string instruments, and in voice is available to University students. Fees are charged for lessons according to an annual schedule published by the department. Music majors are given priority, but nonmajors are also welcomed, subject to the limits of available faculty time. All students wishing to enroll must first gain the permission of the appropriate instructor or area head to register for applied instruction; this will normally involve an audition. Once permission has been granted, the registration process for academic credit can be done only by the Music Department registrar, who is also responsible for procedures leading to billing and the formal assignment to a teacher.
All students must enroll during the regular University registration period at the beginning of each semester. Music fees are to be paid during the registration period; if fees remain unpaid, lessons will be discontinued.
Individual lessons earn 0.5 or one credit hour per semester (MUSC 100-115; depending on the duration of the weekly applied lesson), two credit hours per semester (MUSC 200-207), or three credit hours per semester (MUSC 300-306).
Students pursuing the B.Mus. degree normally enroll for eight semesters of two-credit-hour lessons on their main instrument, encompassing eight semesters of weekly one-hour lessons and a weekly studio class. These lessons are numbered MUSC 200-207; they may be substituted under the terms outlined above. With the approval of the director of undergraduate studies, students may declare two main instruments. MUSC 200-207 are also available to appropriately qualified students pursuing the B.A. degree majoring in music, and also the music minor.
Students pursuing the B.Mus. or B.A. degree who wish to include a recital in their applied study should substitute lessons numbered MUSC 300-306 for their MUSC 200-206 lessons. MUSC 300-306 lessons with recital may be taken in up to two semesters during a student's degree; they replace (from fall 2007) the courses formerly known as MUSC 210 (Junior Recital) and MUSC 310 (Senior Recital). MUSC 300-306 lessons have a prerequisite of six credit hours of the equivalent MUSC 200-206 lessons.
Music majors pursuing the B.A. degree, music minors, and nonmajors, as well as students pursuing the B.Mus. degree wishing to study a second instrument, may enroll for MUSC 100-106 lessons for 0.5 or one credit hours (a 30-minute or one-hour lesson per week), subject to their availability. Group lessons (one credit hour) may also be available on selected instruments (MUSC 110-115).
MUSC 100-115, MUSC 200-207, and MUSC 300-306 are normally offered each semester and are subject to admission and other requirements being met. MUSC 100-115, MUSC 200-207, and MUSC 300-306 may be repeated for credit for degree (not within term), subject to a grade of C or better in the immediately prior enrollment in the course.
A wide variety of department ensembles under MUSC 211-215 is open to all students by audition. Each earns one credit hour per semester and may be repeated for credit for degree and in some cases within term. Students should check with the Music Department registrar for more information concerning requirements and procedures for the auditions, which are typically held during the first week of each semester. B.Mus. candidates must participate in appropriate ensembles for eight separate semesters (or the equivalent), i.e., eight hours total. B.A. candidates majoring in music must participate in appropriate ensembles for four separate semesters (or the equivalent), i.e., four hours total. "Appropriate" ensembles are normally drawn from sections of MUSC 211. Substitutions by sections of MUSC 212 may be permitted for jazz specialists (Jazz Band); guitarists (Guitar Ensemble); voice students (Opera Workshop; once, or exceptionally twice, within the degree); and pianists (Piano Ensemble I-II [once each] and Collaborative Piano).
A music major (B.Mus. or B.A.) may enroll for individual instruction in other instruments, or class instruction in applied music, or other ensembles, depending upon his or her abilities, needs, interests, and available time. Such students, however, may count no more than three additional ensemble hours towards their degree as music or general electives.
Students should note that applied lessons are identified by instrument family (keyboard, voice, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion) with sections by instructor (details will be available at registration) and that ensembles are identified by category with sections by ensemble (details are given below). Please take particular care to enroll for the correct section(s).
