Differences in technique and musical literatures require adjustmentsto the core coursework for some majors. Guitar majors learn some

of the Keyboard Studies skills on the guitar. Jazz students take

some Music History and some Music Theory from the core and then

take Jazz History and Jazz Theory. Music Education and RecordingArts Students have different requirements as well.

Most majors require classes specific to the instrument or literature. Most entering students have some combination or remedial work or

advanced placement.
