Bachelor [Jazz Studies] From Augusta University

As a music major or minor, you will be required to declare a major performing area (voice, piano, trumpet, etc.). In addition to being proficient on your instrument, music majors must also demonstrate a knowledge of music theory. Students who have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of music theory upon entry into a music program are much more likely to succeed in all fields of musical study. All entering freshmen and those who have previous college credit but are new to the music major must take a music theory diagnostic examination before being advised into their first semester of coursework. This exam is given by the Music Departmental office. Those with adequate knowledge will be placed in MUSI 1211: Music Theory 1 and MUSI 1101: Ear-Training and Sight-Singing 1. Students who are not familiar with the rudiments of music theory will be placed in MUSI 1201: Music Fundamentals.
