Music

 

Assign Dr. Tatiana Taylor as the advisor for vocal, piano and guitar majors and Adam Compton as the advisor for instrumental majors. (The major is actually “music” for both, so you will determine what their emphasis is to assign the advisor.)

If students come in to be advised and are on a vocal music scholarship, they should be enrolled in Concert Choir. If they are incoming 1st semester freshmen, they should be enrolled in MUSC1641. If they are on an instrumental scholarship, they should be enrolled in Band – MUSC 1601 unless Adam (Compton) specifies differently. If students transfer in with Choir or Band credits, then count up the number of semesters and enroll them accordingly.

The theory and sight-singing classes are sequential, so if a student is changing to music in the spring semester, they should take Fundamentals of Music I plus piano, applied lesson in their voice or instrument and student recital.
