Overview of class

Non-Major Piano is a highly competitive program. We look for students to demonstrate serious

commitment in the form of disciplined attendance and focused, daily practice. "Drops," while

permitted according to the university calendar, are highly discouraged as they adversely affect the

program.

Class Notes

· Once you are accepted to the program, you do not have to re-audition each quarter during

the academic year, given that you maintain a good standing in the program. However, should

you choose to drop the class, you must notify Dr. Kan-Walsh.

· All pianists are required to attend the Fall auditions, disregarding their previous status in the

program.
