Bachelor of Music [B.Mus] [Performance Emphasis] From Stephen F. Austin State University

The School of Music?s goal for all students involves excellence in performance; however, those majoring in performance are held to higher standards of technical ability, repertoire difficulty, and artistry than those pursuing the other degrees in music. The student takes at least sixty-five percent of the required credits for this degree program in the major area and in other supportive courses in music. A significant portion of credit is given for applied lessons to compensate the student for the amount of practice time spent to intensely prepare for the weekly-applied lesson. Individual performance skills are nurtured in weekly private lessons, studio classes, convocations, semester juried examinations, junior recitals and senior recitals.
