Lab fees are used to help defray the cost of providing practice and instruction facilities in the Fine Arts Building. The tutorial fees begin at $20 per half hour of instruction. Students must take at least 30 minutes of instruction weekly but may contract for more. Students studying with a contracted instructor pay their tutorial fees directly to their instructor. The tutorial fee is established by the contracted instructor.
All applied music courses are intended to develop necessary skills in performance, in preparation for transfer to four-year institution. Students are expected to practice at least one hour per day. Instruction is given by college approved, private teachers. Instruction takes place in the Fine Arts Building on campus or in the instructor’s own studio. Names of approved instructors are available in the music area of the Humanities Division.
