First-year and sophomore music students earn one-half course credit, and juniors and seniors earn one course credit, for weekly 60-minute lessons on their primary instrument. Music majors do not pay fees for private lessons on their primary instrument or required applied piano classes. Additional fees are charged for individual applied lessons on a secondary instrument (.25 credit for weekly 30-minute lessons or .5 credit for weekly 60-minute lessons) and other applied music classes that are not required for the students' degree. Students pay additional fees for piano accompanists. Permission of the instructor is required for liberal arts students to enroll in applied lessons. All CLA students who have not studied applied voice previously at DPU must contact the Voice Area Coordinator to schedule and complete an audition before registering for applied voice lessons. Degree-seeking students may not take applied music courses on an audit basis.
Individual applied lessons are offered in the following areas: BAS String Bass; BASJ Jazz Bass; BSN Bassoon; CLO Cello; CLR Clarinet; EUP Euphonium; FLT Flute; GUI Folk Guitar; GUIJ Jazz Guitar; HCD Harpsichord; HRN Horn; HRP Harp; JPNJ Jazz Piano; OBO Oboe; ORG Organ; PNO Piano; PRC Percussion; SAX Saxophone; TBA Tuba; TBN Trombone; TPT Trumpet; VLA Viola; VLN Violin; VOC Voice.
