Undergraduate Private Lessons (MUP) Courses

Which MUP Course Should You Take?

There are two tables below, one for "Principal and Secondary Private Lessons" and another for "Major Private Lessons." To figure out which MUP courses you should take, check the requirements for your degree program and concentration in the WSU Undergraduate Bulletin. In summary:

• Performance majors (not including jazz) take "major private lessons"
• Majors in jazz studies, composition, music business, music education, and music technology take "principal private lessons"
• BA students take "principal private lessons"
• Students in programs that require a second instrument also take "secondary private lessons"

Principal and Secondary Private Lessons

• Each 1-credit secondary private lessons course carries a $300 private lesson fee. Juries are not required for secondary private lessons.

Major Private Lessons
