Undergraduate Lessons: Principal applied lessons (MUP 1XXX and MUP 3XXX) are for students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Music and students pursuing the Bachelor of Music in music education, composition, jazz studies, music busines, or music technology. Major applied lessons (MUP 2XXX and MUP 4XXX) are for students pursuing the Bachelor of Music in performance. Secondary applied lessons (MUP 1XX5 and MUP 3XX5) are for undergraduate students fulfilling "secondary" instrument requirements.

Graduate Lessons: Principal/Secondary applied lessons (MUP 6XXX) are for students pursuing the Master of Arts in Music, students pursuing the Master of Music in composition/theory or music industry studies, and students pursuing the Master of Music in performance or conducting who wish to study an additional instrument. Major applied lessons (MUP 7XXX) are for students pursuing the Master of Music in performance or conducting.

MUP Term Report

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in private lessons (i.e. MUP courses) in the Department of Music are required to file an "MUP Term Report" each term of enrollment. This report provides both the student and the Department with a formal record of accomplishments during the semester. Completed MUP Term Report forms are due on the last Friday of each semester. Final grades will not be entered until MUP Term Report forms have been submitted.
