Music Theory

First semester freshman theory students are required to take the Theory Placement Exam. This test is taken the first day of theory class and provides the professor with information regarding your prior knowledge. If your test result is below average, you will be required to take part in study sessions lead by a student tutor. You will continue these tutorial sessions until the instructor feels you have become proficient with basic music fundamentals. These sessions are designed to equip you with a proper foundation of music theory and serve as a basis for future theory studies.

Study Groups and tutoring sessions will take place at a time arranged by you, your study group, and the tutor.
