MUSIC (1)

The curriculum of most schools of music is a classical-traditional program requiring a minimum of four years of academic work leading to the bachelor of music, bachelor of arts or bachelor of science in music. A music student should be able to perform proficiently on at least one instrument (voice is categorized as an instrument), and should have basic working knowledge and proficiency at the keyboard. All music programs require credit hours in both applied and ensemble music.
