Applied Music

Earn credit while learning to play a musical instrument.

Applied Music Format

Applied Music courses give you more options to earn credit in person during fall and spring and online during summer.

In the fall and spring semesters, we offer in-person one-on-one lessons in instrumental and vocal instruction or small-group beginner guitar classes. In the summer, we offer online one-on-one guitar lessons and small-group beginner guitar classes.

One-on-one instruction includes 9 one-hour lessons per semester; group classes meet twice a week for 10 weeks. The materials are chosen by your instructor based on your previous experience and level, and on your musical preferences. Students in all levels are welcome!


Applied Music Credit

Students receive two credits per class; courses can be taken for a letter grade, pass/fail, or no credit. You must indicate your preference before the 100% drop/add deadline.
