Section Description

Course Description:

Private lesson instruction in Jazz Guitar (MUL 033, 034, 044, 074, 133, 134, and 234). A lab fee is required, and varies by course number. These courses fit into the broader curriculum in a variety of ways (e.g. as an elective or requirement), depending on the course number. The purpose of this course is for students to progress in the skill, knowledge, and understanding of music, repertoire and music performance on their specific instrument or voice.
Course Credit:
Applied lessons are available for one or two credit hours. Each student receives one private lesson per week for 14 weeks. Students enrolled for one credit receive half-hour weekly lessons, while students enrolled for two credits receive one-hour weekly lessons. Non-majors are required to perform a Lesson Audition (Level I) before they are accepted for study; this audition may be formal or informal at the discretion of the teacher. Music Majors are required to successfully complete a Music Major Audition (Level II) before they are accepted for study in MU 134, and an Intermediate Level Examination (Level III) before acceptance for study in MU 234.
Scheduling
Applied lessons are scheduled at the mutual convenience of the teacher and student. Students should contact their teachers during the first week of the semester for schedule details.

Section Expectation

Attendance
Attendance at all lessons is a course requirement. If a faculty member must cancel a lesson, he/she will inform the student by text, e-mail, or a sign posted on the lesson studio door. Students should then contact the faculty member to schedule a make-up lesson.
If a student must cancel a lesson, he/she must inform the faculty member by text, e-mail, or voice mail prior to the lesson time. When possible, faculty will make up a lesson canceled prior to the lesson time. No make-up lesson will be scheduled when the student does not contact the faculty member prior to the lesson time. Further, faculty will not be expected to make up more than two lessons canceled by the student.

Practice/Weekly work expectations
Students should expect to practice a minimum of 3 hours per week. Practicing daily increases the retaining of the information and physical coordination.
Applied Lesson Register
At the final lesson of each semester, the student will submit an Applied Lesson Register to their teacher, listing repertoire studied during the semester. No grade will be given until the Applied Lesson Register has been completed.
Jury Performances
End-of-semester jury policies vary within the Department. Please consult your teacher or contact the Music Department Office for the particular requirements in your area.
Student Recital Performance

A music major enrolled in applied lessons in their principal instrument must perform on at least two student recitals prior to being eligible for an Intermediate Level Jury (Level III), and another two recitals prior to being eligible for a Solo Recital Examination (Level IV). Please contact the department office if you have questions about this requirement.
Learning Objectives
Learning to be “Chord Fluent” is one of the main objectives. ie: To be able to read and play the chord progression from a lead sheet. Further studies regarding improvising and LEARNING TUNES also apply.
