A minimum of four semester credits in piano is still required.

Students in applied music progress according to stated repertoire commensurate with the level of study and as demonstrated in a juried performance. Access to upper division 3000 and 4000 level study and to the junior level recital is authorized by the division faculty upon completion of a juried performance at the preceding level with a grade of B or higher.

Students enrolled in Junior Recital (MPER 3811) must pass a pre-recital jury at least two weeks prior to the recital. Each performance area will determine what literature is appropriate for junior level recitals.
