Course Description
The concert attendance requirement helps instill an awareness of the value and importance musicians place on being active listeners and attentive audience members. To take part as a member of the audience in the live performances of one’s peers and mentors as well as guest artists is a crucial step in becoming an educated musician. As such, students are encouraged to attend a variety of musical events. This course is not a requirement for students in the Class of 2028. The registration requirements for the Classes of 2025 through 2027 are as follows: All music majors pursuing the Bachelor of Music (B.M.), Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.), and Bachelor of Musical Arts (B.M.A.) must enroll in MUS 001 (Concert Attendance, 0 credit) each semester in residence. Candidates pursuing a Music Major leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree must register for MUS 001 each semester in residence after the music major has been declared. Students declaring the minor in music must register for four semesters of concert attendance. Musicians in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and School of Business and Leadership declaring a jazz studies minor must register for two semesters of concert attendance.
