Minor Advisor: Gideon D'Addio, gdaddio@umd.edu
This minor provides students with high-level training in instrumental or vocal performance. Four semesters of individual study are taken concurrently with four semesters of ensemble. A music theory course and a music history course provide basic historical and theoretical background in support of performance studies.
Admission to the minor in music performance is based on a required performance audition before a faculty committee prior to enrolling in the minor. Audition information, including requirements, can be found at http://music.umd.edu/admissions/undergraduate/.
Students who fulfill minor requirements will receive a minor on the official transcript. Please contact the School of Music student services team for more information.
